The Commissioner for Agriculture and Water Resources, Prof. Alanana Otaki, has been dragged to an Upper Area Court, Lafia, by Dr. Peter Aboki, the Deputy Provost, College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Nasarawa State, for snatching his wife.
The embattled wife, Felicia Aboki, had also filed a case against her husband seeking dissolution of their 18 years marriage.
Addressing the court on Monday in Lafia, Shikama Shyeltu, Counsel to Mr Aboki, applied that the case brought by the wife be suspended pending the determination on the matter of her alleged extra marital relationship with the commissioner.
On his part, Mr David Meshi, Counsel to the defendant, said his client was no longer interested in the 18-year-old marriage to the applicant, which was why she decided to seek divorce.
After listening to all the parties, Abubakar Lanze, the presiding judge, adjourned the case to Sept. 15, 2021, for hearing.
