Housewife seeks divorce over husband’s inability to provide for family after job loss
A housewife, Kafayat Ajoke, begged an Ilorin court for divorce from her husband, Aminullahi Ibrahim, over his inability to provide food for the family.
The petitioner also sought custody of the two children and N100,000 monthly as maintenance and feeding allowance.
“I noticed that my husband changed after he lost his job one year ago,” said the housewife. “He does not provide enough money for food for the family.”
Responding, Mr Ibrahim agreed to the divorce application.
Mr Ibrahim said he can only afford to give his wife N2,000 monthly for the maintenance and feeding of the two children.
“I don’t have a job, so I don’t have money. This is the main reason my wife wants a divorce,” he said.
The presiding judge, Idris Etsu, adjourned the case until July 30 for judgment.
