She said that the two children attend the school where she teaches and as a result of that, she pays N2,000 for them instead of N5,000.

“He is owing the school N4,000 for two months and N2,000 for Quranic school.

”He calls me names whenever he calls to talk to the children or visits to see them.” she alleged.

Responding to the allegation, Jimo, denied owing any money.

He also denied insulting his former wife, saying”whenever I go to visit my children, she makes trouble”.

After listening to all the parties, the Judge, Murtala Nasir, adjourned the case until Nov. 11.
