Confusion in court as woman slumps after husband insisted on divorce

On Thursday, there was a state of confusion in an Area Court in Ilorin when a woman named Mulikat Yusuf collapsed after her husband, Ishaq Abdulganiyu, expressed his desire to divorce her.

Abdulganiyu informed the court that he had lost interest in the marriage.

Previously, Yusuf had conveyed to the court her unwillingness to proceed with the divorce, stating that after having six children, she had nowhere else to go.

As she exited the court, she was lost in thought following her husband's divorce application, which led to her collapsing.

Court officials were able to revive her by splashing water on her.

The presiding Judge, Mr. Toyin Aluko, recommended that she should seek every possible avenue to resolve the issues between her and her husband.

The case has been postponed until December 10 for either a report on the settlement or a hearing.
