Settle out of court, woman who sued ex-husband over theft told

A Grade 1 Area Court in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, has admonished a 35-year-old housewife, Omolara Imoke, to settle out of court a case she filed against her former husband, Morufu Alimi.
Imoke filed a case of  intimidation and theft against  her 42-year-old ex-husband.
At the resumption of hearing, the judge, Mr Albert Maga, advised Imoke to consider their two children and settle out of court.
“Taking yourselves to court will not help your children. I will advise that you go back home and see how you can resolve this matter in the interest of your children.
“However, the case has been adjourned till January 15 for report of settlement or continuation if the former (reconciliation) fails,’’ Maga ruled.
On December 11, Imoke of Aso Pada, Mararaba, took Alimi to court for alleged intimidation and theft.
She claimed that after the legal dissolution of their 13-year-old marriage by the court, her ex-husband had been intimidating her.
Imoke also alleged that her former husband stole the money she intended to use in renting a room, and assaulted her, causing her grievous harm on her arms and legs.`
The mother of two, who is also a teacher, alleged that her former husband was planning to sell the house both of them built.
“He told me he would make sure that I suffer and go back to the village,” she told the court.
Alimi, of the same address, however, denied the allegations levelled against him.
