A housewife, Rofiat Ibrahim, on Tuesday, sought for divorce from an Area Court in Ilorin, Kwara State, over her husband’s health condition.
Ibrahim in her petition, told the court that her husband, Solihu, has been sick for more than 10 years and his family refused to support her in taking care of him and the children.
She said, ”I am the only one fending for my sick husband. My husband’s family left the financial burden on me.
”I left my sick husband in 2019 and took our four children with me when the burden became too much on me.
”My in-laws took my sick husband to a welfare home for treatment when I left him, but he ran away from the place and has not been heard of till now,” the petitioner added.
She, therefore, pleaded with the court to grant her divorce.
The presiding judge, Aminullahi Abdul Lateef, ordered that Solihu should be properly served, for him to react to his wife’s application.
He adjourned the matter till August 9 for Solihu’s reaction to the wife’s prayer.
