By James Moses (9News Nigeria Jos)

There was a mild drama on Wednesday in Dei-Dei Grade 1 Area Court in Abuja when a housewife Sa’adatu Ayuba prayed the Court to disregard her earlier plead for divorce, the petitioner, who sought for divorce on grounds of impotence, said she married her husband 27 years ago.

“My Lord though my husband refused to follow the Court order for him to perform his duties as a man, I still love him,” she said.

Responding Jalija, told the Court to Grant her request.

“My landlord gave us a quit notice, so she moved out of our home, I told her I wanted us to move from Dakwa because of transportation to my place of work, but she rented her own place and moved out on 31st December.

“Since she told the Court that I cannot perform my duties as her husband, the Court should grant her request for divorce. I do not love her anymore”, he said.

The Judge, Saminu Suleiman, however ordered Jalija to take his wife to where he lives, provide and take care of her according to his capability.

Suleiman also ordered the Police officer to accompany the couple to the respondent’s residence to verify where he stays and adjourned the matter until January 26, 2024.

9News Nigeria reports that the petitioner had earlier approached the Court for divorce saying that her husband stopped performing since he started having an affair with another woman.

“I got married when I was 16. I have never been with any other man but my husband”, says the 43- year-old woman.
