Kaduna: Court remands man to enable him ‘think of how to provide for his 4 children’

A Shari’a Court in Kaduna on Wednesday ordered the remand of one Musa Hussaini for some hours to enable him think about how he will be raising money for the upkeep of his four children.

Earlier, his estranged wife, a mother of four, Hajara Sani, had prayed the court to help her recover some of her properties from Hussaini.

She told the court that Hussaini sold her two chairs and a television and also pushed her into selling her bed.

‘’I gave him the money I got from selling the bed shortly before he divorced me.

“I want the court to confirm the three pronouncement of divorce Hussaini made to me. I also want the court to order my former husband to be responsible for the upkeep of our four children,” she said.

Responding, Hussaini confirmed making three pronouncements of divorce at intervals, adding that he sold the items with the complainant ‘s consent in order to repair his working tools as a vulcanizer.

He said he sold the TV and chairs for N5,000 and received N6500 from the complainant after the bed was sold.

He prayed court to allow him pay in instalments, saying, ‘’I will give her N2,000 weekly.”

When asked about the welfare of his children, he said, he had no provision or plan for them for now.

The Judge, Malam Mukhtar Aliyu, ordered the remand of the defendant for some hours so that he will ponder on how to provide for his children and adjourned until September 25 for further hearing.
