Kano Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s daughter’s 16-year-old marriage has hit the rocks

264

Inuwa, Persecondnews reports, had accused her of breaking into his house in his absence and stealing some vital landed property documents, SUVs, other vehicles, keys among other property.

The Governor’s daughter had told a Shariah Court sitting at Filin Hockey, Kano, to apply the Islamic principles of khul’i to dissolve her 16-year-old marriage with Uba, saying “l’m fed up with the marriage.

The estranged husband, who had earlier insisted he loved his wife, sought the return of the title documents of his property, vehicles and other valuable items and documents before he agrees to her divorce terms.

According to him, the documents allegedly carted away by Asiya include a Certificate of Occupancy of House No. 5 Ballaveux Residence, Life Camp, Abuja; a Certificate of Occupancy of House No. 2 STB Quarters, off State Road, Kano and; a Certificate of Occupancy of No. 3 Tamandu Road, Kano (Amani Event Center).

Others are title documents of ASIL Integrated Rice Mill, Gundutse, Zaria Road, Kano; title documents of many plots of land in Kano and Potiskum, Yobe State and; a CCTV control system/decoder taken from No. 2 STB Quarters, Kano.

The vehicles allegedly carted away by the governor’s daughter are Toyota Prado SUV 2017 model; Toyota Previa 2015 model and Toyota Avensis 2019 model.

But counsel to Asiya-Balaraba Ganduje, Mr Ibrahim Nassarawa, denied knowledge of the documents and vehicles allegedly carted away by the woman from their home in his counter-affidavit filed before the court.

While overruling the preliminary objection filed by Mr Inuwa’s lawyer challenging the jurisdiction of the court, the Shariah Court judge, Khadi Abdullahi Halliru, insisted that the court must proceed with the hearing.

The judge requested the lawyer to reveal whether N50,000 was paid to his client as dowry.

The defendant’s lawyer, however, disagreed that N50,000 was paid by the estranged hubby as dowry, and asked for the leave of the court to get the actual amount paid.
