A businesswoman, Halima Damina, has dragged her husband Jacob before a Customary Court in Jikwoyi, FCT, accusing him of throwing her out of their matrimonial home.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), she said this in a divorce petition she filed against him in court.
“Some time ago, I visited my ex-boyfriend’s mother and people lied to my husband that it was my ex-boyfriend that I visited,” she said.
“When my husband came back home, he threw me and my belongings out of the house. I tried to explain things to him but he would not listen.”
She told the court that their relatives intervened and tried to reconcile them.
“It is on these grounds that I seek for divorce,” she said.
The respondent, who is a welder, was present in the court, but denied the allegations.
The trial judge, Thelma Baba, advised the couple to explore reconciliation and adjourned the case till January 31.
