”I divorced her twice before and I want the court to witness and confirm the last one here,” Tofik said.

However, Alabi, who also resides within Kaduna metropolis, begged the court to oblige her husband his request for a divorce.

”I want the court to order him to get me a job and a house where I will live with our last daughter.

“He converted me to Islam. He refused to allow me to get a job. I want the court to order him to pay me N50,000 monthly for my daughter’s upkeep,” she prayed.

After listening to both parties, the Judge, Muhammad Adam-Shehu, confirmed the divorce.
