A trader, Jamilu Yakubu, told a Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, that his wife, Badi’a Abdullahi, approached the court seeking divorce because he complained about the N300 worth of green beans she left to rot.
Yakubu, who reside in Tudun Wada, in Kaduna, said that when he bought the green beans, Badi’a did not use it to prepare food for the family.
“When I asked why she left the green beans to rot, she replied me in anger and told me that she gave some of the rotten beans to my sister,” he said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Jamilu also alleged that his wife was having an extramarital affair.
“One day, I came home from the market and saw a teenage boy seated in our room. Badi’a was wearing a trouser and a short shirt,” Yakubu said.
Earlier, the plaintiff, Badi’a Abdullahi prayed for divorce on grounds that she no longer loved her husband.
“Jamilu comes back home very late. He sent me out of my room with my three children for nine days.
“We live in the family house with his sister. He eventually rented out my room.
“I am praying the court to terminate our marriage.
“I am ready to pay the N20, 000 he paid as my bride price to free myself from the union,” she said.
The judge, Nuhu Falalu, after listening to the parties, terminated their marriage.
He ordered Badi’a to refund the N20,000 she received as bride price to the defendant.
The judge also granted her custody of their three children and ordered Jamilu to pay N15,000 monthly for their upkeep.
He also ordered the defendant to enroll their children in school.
The judge warned Badi’a not to deny Jamilu access to their children.
