A Kano State Sharia court sitting in Kofar Kudu has dissolved a 19-year-old marriage over the disappearance of the Indian husband, Khalid Abubakar.
The wife, Samira Usman, filed the case and pleaded with the court to dissolve her marriage as her husband had disappeared for nine years.
Samira told the court that she met Khalid Abubakar in Saudi Arabia 19 years ago and that they got married and returned to Nigeria.
She said that after getting four kids with him, he travelled to India to see his relatives with the agreement that he would come back within a few days.
