A civil servant, Mrs Wasilat Saka, on Thursday, pleaded with a Grade 1 Area Court in Kubwa, Abuja, to dissolve her marriage with husband, Tajudeen Jimoh, over alleged abandonment and conflicting faith beliefs.
Saka told the court that she got married to Jimoh under Islamic Law on July 30, 2022, adding that the marriage did not produce any children.
She alleged that Jimoh, who claimed to be a Moslem, soon abandoned her for months while refusing to perform all Islamic rites.
