My Wife Has To Pay Me N1.6m Before I Agree To Divorce, Man Tells Court
“I gave her N50,000 as dowry not N30,000 and she made me lose the N35,000 monthly allowance I used to receive from my brothers as a result of ill health.
“My bothers stopped sending me the allowance since 2018 because I got married to her.
“She, therefore, has to pay me the money before I grant her divorce”, he said.
Murjanatu, through her lawyer, Mr Abubakar Abdullahi said, there was no prior agreement to pay the defendant any money.
“I don’t want to continue with the marriage because I don’t want to disobey God,” she said.
The judge, Malam Rilwanu Kyaudai, adjourned the case for the respondent to produce her witnesses in the matter.
