A Shari’a court in Kaduna has remanded one Musa Hussaini for some hours to enable him think about how to provide money for the upkeep of his four children.
According to NAN, Mukhtar Aliyu, the presiding judge, gave the order on Wednesday following a petition filed by Hajara Sani, Hussaini’s wife.
The petitioner, a mother of four, told the court that her husband sold her two chairs and a television and also made her sell their bed.
She prayed the court to help recover some of her properties from Hussaini.

The petitioner also asked the court to confirm the pronouncements of divorce made by the Hussaini.
“I gave him the money I got from selling the bed shortly before he divorced her,” she said.
“I want the court to confirm the three pronouncements of divorce Hussaini made to me.

“I also want the court to order my former husband to be responsible for the upkeep of our four children.”
On his part, Hussaini told the court that he sold the items with his wife’s consent in order to repair his vulcanising machine.
Hussaini added that he sold the television set and chairs for N5,000, and received N6,500 from the complainant after the bed was sold.
Hussaini confirmed that he made three pronouncements of divorce against his wife, but asked the court to allow him to pay the money owed her in installments.

When asked about the welfare of his children, Hussaini said he had “no provision for them for now”.
Aliyu ordered the remand of Hussaini for some hours “so that he will ponder on how to provide for his children”.
The case was adjourned to September 25 for further hearing.
