A middle-aged woman , Karimatu Sulaiman on Tuesday prayed a Shari’a court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna state to grant her custody of her four-year-old grandson.
Suleiman’s counsel, Mr Usman Umar, told the court that his client’s daughter who was divorced by her husband,Bashir Abdullahi in 2021 had remarried.
“Since she has remarried, she no longer has the right for child custody and as such my client wants the child to remain in her custody.
” We want the former husband to pay N30,000 monthly allowance for child upkeep”,he said.

On his part, Abdullahi disagreed with the complainant’s prayers saying he wants his son back.
He prayed court to grant him custody of his child so that he can enrol him in a school and raise him up in a good way.
“She doesn’t allow my son to visit me at home. He doesn’t know his relatives”,he said.
The Judge, Malam Mu’awiyya Shehu, adjourned the matter until Oct. 21 for Abdullahi to produce witnesses.
