I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I'm trying to help a friend out with regards to his marriage in Nigeria.

He was married to a Nigerian lady about 5 years ago but things didn't work out. He moved back to the UK and she remarried in Nigeria.

The problem is, my friend has been told by a Nigerian lawyer that he must return to Nigeria to get a divorce in the courts. Alternatively, the lady he married can do this but he cannot track her down. Is it not possible after 4 years to divorce without him having to travel there?

Many thanks
