” I spend an average of N2,000 daily for my upkeep and my children. I pray to the court to order him to pay N200,000 to me and take his responsibility as a man,” the plaintiff said.
The respondent however said he left his wife and traveled to the village because of her ill-temper.
” We do not have children together but before we got married she told me she had three children but anytime I give her money for feeding, she says it is finished. I never knew that she actually had eight children.
” I agree that I have not been providing for her since June but it is not true that she spent up to N200,000. I am currently indebted due to a bank loan she took in the past that I am paying for.
” I trekked from Phase III, Kubwa to get to the court here in Arab Road. Business has not been good and I cannot afford N200,000,” the respondent said.
He however told the court that he can only afford to give his wife N5,000 monthly for maintenance adding that she is aware of his capability.
