An Upper Area Court, Kubwa, FCT, has granted a housewife, Nafisat Ibrahim custody of her two-year-old daughter from her former husband, Yahuza Isah.
The Judge, Muhammad Wakili, also ordered Isah to pay N45,000 monthly to Ibrahim for her upkeep and also provide her needs until she gives birth.
Earlier, the plaintiff who is four months pregnant, approached the court for confirmation of custody of her daughter, following the dissolution of her marriage on Aug.13.
She prayed the court to order her former husband to pay N5,000 daily for her upkeep, provide accommodation, feeding, clothing and medication for their daughter when needed.
