“I consulted my lawyer, Abdulwaheed Yakubu to get a divorce letter from the court on Dec.18, 2023, which has been done.

Shuaibu’s counsel, Sherifdeen Bello however said that the divorce does not exist, adding that it had procedures in Islam.
“The procedures have not been followed, if the plaintiff claims to have divorced his wife, she has not observed “Iddah” which is a waiting period of three months according to Islamic injunction, before contracting another marriage,” Bello said.
He said that Habeeb had not paid any money to Shuaibu, who is heavily pregnant, for maintenance since December 10, 2023, but paid on January 8, 2024 because the matter had been taken to court.
Bello applied for Habeeb to pay N80,000 to Shuaibu for feeding and maintenance and N14, 000 for gas monthly.

He also applied for Habeeb to continue to pay his daughter’s school fees and return the items he removed from their home since the matter started in court.
In response, the plaintiff‘s counsel said that Habeeb was up and doing with his obligations in his home and urged the court to discountenance the application of the respondent.
The judge, Mohammed Wakili however adjourned the matter until Feb.5 for continuation of the hearing.
