Jigawa State Governor's Daughter Is Seeking To Divorce Her Husband Hon.Rep Member Musa Sarki -Adar

As the month of Ramadan gets underway, the daughter of Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa, Hadiza Sarki-Adar, has approached the Kubwa Upper Area Court, Abuja, to dissolve her marriage to Representative, Musa Sarki-Adar.

Hadiza told the court that she was seeking the divorce because she had lost interest in the union.

But the governor's inlaw, Sarki-Adar, who represents Gada/Goronyo Federal Constituency of Sokoto State, objected to the petition, arguing that there was no reason for it.

"We have been married since 2007 and lived amicably until April 1, 2010, when Hadiza packed out of the matrimonial home without any provocation," he said.

"All efforts to settle the issue remained unsuccessful as she insisted on putting an end to the union."

Sarki-Adar suggested that Hadiza be sent for a psychiatric evaluation, as her actions appeared abnormal.

The presiding judge, Alhaji Mohammed Lawal, turned down the suggestion, saying there was no basis for it.

Dissatisfied, Sarki-Ada said he would like to take the psychiatric matter to the Upper Sharia Court in Dutse.

The case was then adjourned indefinitely, pending the pronouncement of the court in Dutse.
