Husband's ₦2k monthly offer for kids' food prompts wife to seek divorce

The wife also sought custody of the two children and ₦100,000 monthly as maintenance and feeding allowance.

A housewife, Kafayat Ajoke, begged an Ilorin Court for divorce over husband, Aminullahi Ibrahim’s inability to provide food for his family.

The petitioner also sought custody of the two children and ₦100,000 monthly as maintenance and feeding allowance.

“I noticed that my husband changed after he lost his job one year ago.

“He does not provide enough money for food for the family,” she said.

Responding, Ibrahim agreed to the divorce application. Ibrahim said he can only afford to give his wife ₦2,000 monthly for the maintenance and feeding of the two children.

“I don’t have a job, so I don’t have money. This is the main reason my wife wants a divorce,” he stated.

The presiding judge, Idris Etsu adjourned the case until July 30, for judgment.
