She said, “He came after three months, requesting for his wife to return to him, and I told him she had to stay with me for six months to enable her fully recover.
“My daughter fell sick after the operation and I was the one that paid for all her medication and feeding throughout the period.’’
She told the court that she was ready to hand over her daughter to her husband if he paid all she spent on medication and feeding for nine months.
The Khadi, Malam Abubakar Salisu-Tureta, asked the defendant to calculate and present to the court the total sum of the money she spent on her daughter and adjourned to September 4. (NAN)
