The woman identified as Sidikat Yusuf, has dragged her husband before the Ojaoba Panel of Sharia Court of Arbitration in Ibadan.
The court sitting on Friday heard that the husband Abdulrasheed
Yusuf, gives his wife, Sidikat, N10 per meal as upkeep allowance for
family of six.
Sidikat had asked the court to dissolve her 18-year-old marriage to Yusuf for alleged infidelity and starvation.
“He was giving me N10 as feeding allowance either as breakfast or lunch because he said he just lost his job.
“Even when he got another job, Yusuf did not change and in
fact, the situation worsened as we continued to depend on concoction.
“Yusuf, most of the times fed on bread and egg with sardine while the children and I took gari or eba.
“My lord, right from the beginning of my stay with Yusuf as his
wife, I started experiencing different kinds of bad treatment of which
starvation was number one.
“Worst still, Yusuf started having sexual intercourse with my
younger sister who came to assist me when I was sick and in fact
impregnated her.
“My lord, I still managed to endure with him for 10 years and when I saw that things will not change, I moved out of his house.
