I wasn’t in my right mind when I made divorce pronouncement, man tells court

A businessman, Kabiru Musa, who was dragged to an Upper Shari’a Court in Tudun Wada, Kaduna State, by his wife , Murja Abdullahi, has denied making three divorce pronouncements on her.

Musa denied the divorce, saying he was not in his right mind after two of the couple ‘s neighbours testified that they heard him make the pronouncement.

One of the witnesses, Hauwa Umar, a housewife, said that the couple was arguing in the compound when the husband made the three divorce pronouncements.

Earlier, the complainant had brought the matter to court for divorce confirmation.

The Judge, Malam Iliyasu Umar, adjourned the matter until May 26 for a ruling.
