My wife can only divorce me if she pays me N1m, Man tells court

Erisco Cybercrime Case

One Nasiru Yunusa has said he will only grant the request of his wife, Aisha Hamisu, to dissolve their marriage if he receives a financial compensation from her.

Yunusa, a businessman, gave the condition when he appeared before an Upper Area Court in Kubwa, FCT.

Yunusa and Hamisu tied the nuptial knot according to Islamic laws sometime in 2021 and are blessed with a 13-month-old daughter.

Earlier, Hamisu approached the court seeking the dissolution of her marriage with Yunusa, citing lack of care and respect for her decision.

She said that Yunusa packed her belongings from his house to her father’s house on April 19, 2022.

Yunusa, however, said he wanted Hamisu to return to his house but would grant her a divorce if she agreed to compensate him.

” I have spent money on a lawyer for court proceedings which has been going on and all I have spent on her is N1 million which I am ready to prove,” he said.

In response, the plaintiff said that she does not love Yunusa and cannot live with him.

She also said claim by Yunusa that he spent a million naira on her was false as she had been living with her parents for more than two years.

”It is not true that he has spent N1 million on me because I have been with my parents for the past two and a half years after he dumped my property at their doorstep.

“I had our daughter through a cesarean section at Kubwa General Hospital and he did not pay a dime for the hospital bill.

“I am ready to pay him back the dowry of N50,000 only to him, ”she said.

The Judge, Mohammed Wakili, adjourned the matter until Jan 8 for the continuation of hearing.
