Calamity As Man Serving 4-Year Jail Term Loses Wife In Divorce

A 30-year-old woman, Zuwairiyya Ahmad, on Friday prayed a Sharia Court in Kaduna to grant her divorce because her husband, Yakubu Bawasa, was in jail.

The complainant said she was tired of the marriage. “He is no more providing our basic necessities”.

The judge, Murtala Nasir, said based on the report gotten from the correctional facility, the defendant was sentenced to four years imprisonment in 2020.

The judge stated that the court has answered the prayer of the complainant and therefore dissolved the union between the couple, granting her divorce.
