My friend married my fiancee, took over my apartment; I’m suing for cheating: Businessman
A businessman, Abdullahi Jibril, has filed a direct criminal complaint in the Upper Area Court, Mararaba, Nasarawa, against his former fiancee Mariam Ibrahim and friend Haruna Likita, for alleged cheating.
The defendants, who reside in Mararaba, were charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating, breach of trust and threat to life.
Mr Jibril, who resides at Rugan Juli, Mararaba, filed the complaint on Tuesday. He told the court that in 2025, the first defendant (ex-fiancee) tricked him into going to the second defendant’s house for the marital rite.
“My friend went behind me and married my fiancee and they both moved into the house I rented for us. They are currently living in the house and are using the items I bought. The second defendant is now threatening me for taking the matter to court,” he said.
However, the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The judge, Mohammed Shomo, admitted the defendants to bail of N200,000 each with one surety in like sum.
The judge adjourned the matter until November 10 for hearing.
