See Why Aggrieved Husband Demands N200,000 Compensation From Ex-wife

A man identified as Echele Idah has dragged his ex-wife, who allegedly lived with him for only two weeks after their marriage, to court, demanding N200,000 compensation.

The aggrieved ex-husband told a Grade 1 Area Court in Nasarawa State that he married his ex-wife, Gloria Uche, in 2013 but she left after just 2 weeks of marriage and efforts to find her afterwards proved abortive, News Agency of Nigeria reports. His wife later filed for divorce and they got legally divorced in August 2016.

Presenting evidence of the payments he made for their traditional marriage in court, he reportedly said:

“Apart from other minor expenses, I paid N300, 000 into ECObank and N70, 000 into GT Bank for her father and mother’s traditional rites respectively as requested by them.

Also, N119,000 was paid to The Young Shall Grow Motors, Mararaba to convey both my family and that of Gloria to Isi Ala Ngwa, Abia State, Gloria’s home town.

After many months of her disappearance, she called to tell me that she was now married to another man.

I reported the matter to her parents, but what I got was a threat, that I should find their daughter.

Before she divorced me, I made several efforts to locate her all to no avail. I spoke with one Mr Matthew through her phone, who claimed to be her husband.

However, his wife’s lawyer reportedly objected to the evidences he presented and the case was adjourned for further hearing.
