Jamila Abubakar, 33,  on Thursday dragged her former husband, one Isah Aliyu, to a Sharia Court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, for taking their two children to an  ‘Almajiri’ school.

The complainant, a resident of Rido, said Aliyu divorced her three weeks ago, took their children to his village at  Kargi in Kaduna, and enrolled them in Almajiri school.

“I was the one who enrolled my children in both western and Islamic school in Kaduna and they have been doing well”, she said.

She prayed the court to document the divorce made to her and compel the defendant to return the children back to town to continue their education.

The defendant said he divorced his wife for refusing to relocate to his village with him, adding that he did not  take his children to an Almajiri school.

The Judge, Malam Dahiru Lawal, confirmed the divorce and ordered the defendant to bring the children to court in one week. Lawal adjourned the case till Jan 31. (NAN)
