Man drags in-law to court for allegedly abducting wife, baby
A 40-year-old man, Ismail Bello, on Monday dragged his wife’s aunt Hafsat Auwal before a Shari’a court in Kaduna for abducting his wife and child.
Mr Bello told the court that Ms Auwal, in company of another woman, took away his wife and his one-day-old baby wife without permission, and prayed the court to compel them to return her and his baby.
“I also pray that the court order them to pay me damages for putting making me worry,” Mr Bello said.
On her part, Ms Auwal, said she took the wife to her parent’s house as requested by them to take care of her properly for a while before she returns home.
The judge, Salisu Abubakar-Tureta, directed that the matter should not be entertained in the court because it was a family matter.
