Man dragged to court for allegedly marrying five wives

A business man, Awaisu Jibril, on Wednesday appeared at a Shari’a Court sitting at Rigasa, Kaduna, for allegedly marrying five wives, contrary to Islamic teaching.

The prosecutor, Insp. Sambo Maigari, had told the court that one Musa Abdullahi , a community leader, had reported the matter to the Rigasa Police Division.

The defendant told the court that he only had four wives because he had divorced the fourth a month before marrying the fifth.
