She further prayed the court to order the defendant to give her N50,000 monthly as feeding allowance for their child.
In his defense, the defendant said he took care of his wife and provided her needs within his means.
“I love my wife and have tried all possible means to get her back but all has been to no avail.
“Whenever I go to her parent’s house, she leaves me frustrated. Whenever I send her money, she will tell me she does not need my money because her parents are not poor, ”he said.
The judge Malam Murtala Nasir adjourned the case.
