“My wife, who sleeps, eats my food and drinks my water, has been starving me of sex for 16 years now. She will not even allow me to either touch or make love to her.’’

This was the submission of a 59-year old Islamic cleric, Alfa Ganiyu Salami, before the Igando Customary Court while asking the Court to dissolve his 40-year old marriage with his estranged wife, Mrs. Halimatu in Lagos.

Source reports that Mrs. Halimatu eventually lost her marriage to Alfa Ganiyu on Thursday after the Court granted Islamic cleric his request for dissolution of the union.

Alfa Ganiyu had earlier filed for divorce on the grounds that his wife had denied him his matrimonial right by failing in her conjugal duties.
An embittered Ganiyu told the Court that his marriage to Halimatu had been turbulent and fraught with fights and quarrels. He explained that it did not allow him peace of mind and alleged that his wife had at a point threatened to kill him.

He said, “Another cleric, who lives with me, told me that my wife was after my life; that she gave him charms to put in my food. There was a day she wanted to stab me with a broken bottle but for the quick intervention of my friend, who entered at that time and collected the bottle from her”.

Alfa Ganiyu further alleged that his wife turned their children against him, alleging that she once ordered their first born to beat him up.
“My son beat me mercilessly and tore my clothes to pieces with my wife’s consent’’ he said.
The plaintiff said that his wife, Halimatu, gave out their daughters in marriage without his knowledge and consent, saying that he had never met any of his sons-in-law. He also said that his wife was after the property he inherited from his late father.
“My father’s properties belong to me alone. My wife and children cannot inherit my father’s property but can only inherit my own property. My wife has been fighting to take over my father’s properties from me, claiming that they belonged to her and the children.”
“I later bought a land in her name so that she and the children can have that as their inheritance but she went to the land owners begging them to sell the land and give her the money’’ he narrated.

The plaintiff pleaded with the Court to terminate the marriage so that he would have peace of mind, live long enough and enjoy the rest of his life.

The respondent, Halimatu, who consented to the dissolution of their marriage, admitted denying her husband sex.
“I was ill at a time and when I recovered from my illness, my husband refused to sleep with me claiming I was a mad woman. He got married to another woman without my knowledge and when he later wanted to sleep with me, I refused’’ she said.

The 52-year-old trader said that her husband and their first son had a misunderstanding which made him (son) to beat his father. She however, denied ordering her son to beat his father.
The respondent also denied the allegation that she gave charm to anyone to kill him, saying she also never attempted to stab her husband with a bottle. Halimatu further denied the plaintiff’s claim of wanting to sell the land her husband bought for her.

The Court’s President, Mr. Adeniyi Koledoye, in his judgment, said that it appeared that the estranged husband and wife were tired of the marriage since efforts to reconcile both parties had failed.
“Since both parties consented to the dissolution of their marriage, this Court has no choice than to dissolve the marriage. The Court hereby pronounces the marriage between Mr. Ganiyu Salami and Mrs. Halimatu Salami dissolved today.”
“Both of you henceforth cease to be husband and wife. Each of you should go on his or her separate way unmolested. The Court wishes both of you well in your future endeavours.”
“The custody of the last child, who is a 17-year old is awarded to Halimatu, while Ganiyu must be paying N5, 000 monthly for her feeding and must also be responsible for her education and general welfare” the Court President concluded.

The Court ordered Ganiyu to pay a severance fee of N250,000 to the respondent for her to move on with her life and to also pay N150,000 for her to secure another accommodation.

A 12-year-old schoolgirl who was raped by her teacher in Namtari, Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State, has been confirmed pregnant.

The Adamawa State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Abdullahi Nuruddeen, said the teacher, Nathan Yusuf, has been arrested for raping the minor.

“On 2nd September 2019, around 2:30 p.m., we arrested a suspect of rape in person of Nathan Yusuf (37) who is a teacher at Gurel primary school in Namtari Yola south, suspected to have raped his pupil who is below 14 years of age. He confessed to giving her codeine syrup before raping her.

Mr Nurudden said the suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.

“We are advising parents to be vigilant on their children and report such crimes to the relevant authorities for judicial action,” he said.

Bashir Tahir, a member of a non-governmental organisation, Hope Centre, which cares for rape victims in the state, said the group was providing support for the girl.

“She has received all the needed support and the medical tests required. So far she is free from all sexually transmitted diseases. But she will start receiving antenatal care next week at the Hope Centre,” he said.

Mr Tahir said over 160 rape cases had been brought to the organisation, adding that 10 of them have been taken to court.

An uncle of the victim, Sulaiman Namtari, said the action of the teacher came to the community as a rude shock because the man was hitherto highly respected in the community.

“Every member of the community reserves tremendous respect for the teacher as he has been in the community for years. There is no house he doesn’t enter and every member of the community knows him very well.

” What he did was perfidy of the highest order and for that we want authorities not to spare him,” Mr Namtari said.

I regret my action – suspect
While fielding questions from journalists, Mr Yusuf expressed remorse over his action, saying he was prodded by the devil.

He said he would take care of the baby after delivery, adding that he will take full responsibility for his action.

‘’ I regret my action. It was the handiwork of Satan and i am ready to take the full responsibility,’’ he said.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja for permission to confiscate the sum of N840million it allegedly traced to a proxy bank account that was operated by a retired President of the Benue State Customary Court of Appeal, Mrs. Margaret Igbeta.

In an exparte motion it filed for an order of interim forfeiture of the fund, ICPC, alleged that the retired Judge, had while in service, lodged huge sums of money in the fixed deposit account she operated in the name of her maid.

It told the court that funds the ex-Benue State Customary Court President lodged into the account that was domiciled in Ecobank Plc, accumulated about N870, 321, 492.15 between 2008 and 2019.

The Commission said the order it sought from the court would stop Mrs. Igbeta, from accessing the money “alleged to have been obtained through fraudulent activities in the course of her official duties”.

A statement that was signed by Spokesperson for the Commission, Mrs. Rasheedat Okoduwa, disclosed that the interim forfeiture application was brought against the ex-Judge, pursuant to Section 48 (1), (2) and (3) (a) and (b) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and Section 6 (6)(a) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

“The retired President of the Customary Court of Appeal was accused of operating a proxy fixed deposit account in the name of her maid, one Theodora Atsu, with Ecobank Plc, where she accumulated N870, 321, 492.15 between 2008 and 2019.

“She was said to have opened the account with her passport and the name of Atsu on the 5th of March, 2008, with an initial deposit of N8 million.

“She subsequently made several other huge deposits including N123, 745, 925.57 and N5 million, in the months of March and May, 2008.

“It was also noted by the Commission that the money was far above her legitimate earnings both as a judge and President of the Customary Court of Appeal within the period that the account was operated and would have used to meet the infrastructural needs of the citizens and development of the nation.

“ICPC therefore prayed the court to grant the order in the interest of the nation”, the statement added.
