My husband rented house for side chic with loan he took in my name – Policewoman tells court
Angela Adams, a female police officer, has petitioned a Customary Court in Jikwoyi, FCT, for a divorce due to allegations of fraud and domestic violence.
She spoke in court on Tuesday, Oct. 17, stating she had no idea her husband, also a police officer, had two children before consenting to marry him.
The mother-of-one also told the court that he acquired a N750,000 loan in her name from a microfinance bank without her knowledge and lied about using it to buy building supplies while renting an apartment for his side hustle.
“When I asked him what he used the money for, he told me that he bought wood and zinc with the money, but I later heard that he rented an apartment and furnished it for a woman.

“He tricked me into marrying him; I didn’t know that he had two children already and had recently impregnated another,” Angela said.
Angela who also alleged that her husband beats her at every little chance, appealed to the court to grant her request for a divorce.
She said: “My husband always beats me whenever we have a little misunderstanding. He beats me like a child. He always targets my eyes. The last time he beat me, he threw a punch on my face; luckily for me, I was able to block it with my hand, and the blow tore my hand.
“I beg this honourable court to grant me the custody of the only child of this marriage and dissolve the marriage before my husband kills me, and there will be no one to take care of my child,” she said.
Titus, the respondent, was not present in court to submit his case.
Judge Thelma Baba directed that he be provided with a hearing notice through his lawyer. She postponed the hearing to October 24, 2023.

Uromi killings: Man in police uniform who threatened reprisal arrested
Uromi killings: Man in police uniform who threatened reprisal arrested
The Kaduna State Police Command has distanced itself from an individual, Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki), who was seen wearing a police uniform while making inflammatory comments on social media.
Reports indicate that Hussaini, posing as a law enforcement officer, issued threats of retaliation against southerners residing in northern Nigeria. His remarks came after the brutal killings of 16 northerners in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of Edo State.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Hussaini swore by Almighty God, vowing that northerners would take severe action against southerners. He wrote, “I swear to Almighty God, we must do something for you guys, have you forgotten all your brothers that are leaving here in the North make my word, after one week you shall see the result.”
A statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, clarified on Friday night that Hussaini is not a member of the Nigeria Police Force, nor is he affiliated with the Kaduna State Police Command. According to the police, Hussaini had once been a part of the Police Special Constabulary at the Kaduna State Constabulary Office, but he was dismissed two years ago due to his questionable conduct.

Hassan cautioned the public to be vigilant and ensure they verify the identity cards of police personnel. He also confirmed that the suspect had been apprehended and would face legal proceedings after a preliminary investigation.
The statement explained, “The attention of Kaduna State Police Command has been drawn to a comment made on a Facebook post credited to one Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki), which has been circulating on various social media platforms with the caption ‘Kaduna Police Officer Threatens Retaliation Against Southerners in Uromi Killings.’”
“It is pertinent to note that Hussaini is neither a member of the Nigeria Police Force nor a personnel of Kaduna State Police Command. The image of him in police uniform shared on social media was from when he was part of the Police Special Constabulary, a position he was dismissed from two years ago due to his questionable character.”
The statement continued, “The suspect has been arrested and will be charged in court after the completion of preliminary investigations according to the law. The Kaduna Police Command emphasizes that the Nigeria Police Force remains a disciplined institution that does not tolerate incitement or hate speech.”
Police Commissioner, CP Rabi’u Muhammad, urged the public to remain calm and continue reporting suspicious activities to the authorities.
