Man Rejects Wife’s Request For Divorce

Jimoh, who resides in Ojagboro, in Ilorin, earlier approached the court for the dissolution of her 11-year-old marriage to Baba, on grounds that she no longer loves him.

Mr Jimoh Baba, a trader in Ita-Adu area in Ilorin on Thursday, told an Area Court that he was not ready to divorce his wife, Ramotalahi Jimoh.

Baba, however objected to the wife’s prayers and told the court that he was not ready for divorce.

He said, “I am not ready for any divorce now. I cannot release my children to her. Give me more time to come back and prove my case.

“I have health challenges and I cannot explain further. Kindly help me with a new date to establish my case,’”

Jimoh told the court that she has no feelings for her husband anymore..

She said, ”My husband and I are living like rivals in our matrimonial home.

“We are more of rivals than lovers. We never agree on the same thing. I want this honourable court to dissolve this union as soon as possible,” she said.

She also prayed the court to grant her custody of the three children and sought for an order to compelling Baba to pay N15,000 monthly as feeding allowance for the children.

The Presiding Judge, Mr Abdulhammed Aliyu, however, adjourned the case until March 11 for hearing.

Aliyu also advised the defendant to get a lawyer if his health would prevent him from appearing before the court by the next adjourned date.
