A nursing mother, Binta Aminu on Monday dragged her husband Suleiman Muhammad to Sharia Court I, Magajin Gari, Kaduna for allegedly denying the paternity of their 16-year-old son.
The complainant who resides at Nasarawa area of Kaduna also told the court that her husband does not show love and affection to her and their six children.
“He will buy things for the family and give to all his other children except my six children and whenever my son, (name withheld) calls him dad, he shouts at him saying he is not his father.
“There was a day I pleaded with him to tell me the reason why he doesn’t care about me and my children and he told me that he just don’t like my son”, she asserted before the court.
Binta prayed the court to dissolve the marriage since the defendant had shown clearly that he does not love her and her children.
