The Shari’a Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna recently heard a case involving Lawal Hamisu, a businessman, and his estranged wife, Maman Muhammad.
Hamisu pleaded with the court to order Muhammad to leave their home so he could take care of his ailing mother, but Muhammad begged the court to allow her to stay in the home, as she claimed she had nowhere else to go.
According to Vanguard News, Hamisu told the court that despite announcing their intention to divorce three times, he allowed Muhammad to stay in the home to care for their children. However, he claimed that Muhammad has now 'poisoned the children's mind' against him, resulting in his eldest child disrespecting him.
'She has poisoned my children's mind against me, so they no longer respect me,' Hamisu told the court.
Muhammad, who is an orphan and the mother to a three-year-old child, begged the court to order her estranged husband to find her a new place to live.
The judge, Malam Yakubu Abdullahi, adjourned the case until August 3rd for a ruling.
The case highlights the challenges faced by individuals in Nigeria who struggle to balance their family and personal responsibilities. With the increasing cost of living, it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to maintain their family obligations.
