Maryam, who sought the court’s help to retrieve N80,000 from the respondent, said, “I want my money back because I borrowed the money for the purpose of buying a piece of land but he has refused to buy it since last year.”
The respondent, Jamiu agreed to the divorce application but denied owing the petitioner money.
The Judge, AbdulKadir Ahmed, dissolved the Islamic marriage based on mutual agreement and ordered that the petitioner should observe the three-month “iddah” before marrying again.
