“We always quarrel and fight; for these reasons, I beg the court to grant my request for a divorce, ” Saka said.
Though Jimoh was absent from court, the court’s bailiff, Mr Dangana Bawa, tendered before court proof that he was served with the hearing notice.
The Judge, Ibrahim Rufai, adjourned the matter until June 13, for judgement.
