A housewife, Mira Kaka, had pleaded with a Jikwoyi Customary Court not to grant her husband’s prayer for divorce.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Kaka made the plea when she appeared in the court following a divorce suit filed by her husband, Johnson, alleging infidelity.
“I am willing to work with my husband to save the marriage.
“He is still my husband. I don’t want our marriage to be dissolved. I also don’t want him to have custody of our children,” she said.
She also begged the court to order her husband to bring back her children, saying “he has taken the children away for three weeks I don’t know where they are,” she said.
Johnson, who was present in court, told the court that he only took the children to his sister’s house for holiday.
“I will bring them back this week,” he said.
The judge, Everyman Eleanya , advised Kaka, to try and resolve the issues with her husband, if she truly wants to continue with their marriage.
Justice Eleanya urged parties to explore all possible avenues for settlement.
He adjourned the case for hearing.
