Court orders mechanic to pay N180,000 maintenance arrears to ex-wife
A GRADE I Area Court in Abuja on Thursday ordered a generator mechanic, Abdulfatai Adewale to pay his wife, Maryam , N180,000 as maintenance arears.
The judge, Ibrahim Rufai also ordered Adewale to give his wife N2,000 daily for maintainance, following the plaintiff’s prayer to the court to grant same.
Earlier, the plaintiff told the court that she got married to the respondent under Islamic law in 2021.
” My husband lived in my house after our marriage. I got a shop for him because he was a generator mechanic.
” Ever since he started his business he has not been able to raise any funds for me to start up my own business, he left the house in June without any concern for me. I spent N200, 000 on the upkeep of our family.
”When I complained, he promised to rent a place in August for me but did not. He promised to transfer money to me for upkeep but I never heard from him.

” 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.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS
200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.
The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.
He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.
His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.
“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.
“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.
“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
