Divorce Drama: Man Gives Conditions Before Granting Wife’s Divorce
Yahaya Mohammed, a businessman, informed a Kubwa Upper Area Court in the FCT that he is willing to agree to a divorce with his wife, Hauwau Hamza, on the condition that she pays him N160,000 and helps him find another wife.
couple, married under Islamic law in 2020, has no children together.
Previously, Hauwau Hamza approached the court, requesting the dissolution of her marriage to Yahaya Mohammed, citing insufficient care and lack of respect as the grounds for the separation.
Mohammed said ”If she wants a divorce, she has to get me another wife. I want my wife to pay me all I spent on her at our wedding.
” I paid N60,000 as dowry to marry my wife and spent N100,000 for her clothes, I insist for her to pay me back the total sum”, he added
Responding to the request, Hauwau Hamza, the plaintiff, stated that if it aligned with Islamic principles for her to find a wife for her husband before he agrees to the divorce, she would be willing to do so.
She further added that Yahaya Mohammed did not spend an amount exceeding N160,000 on her, emphasizing that her dowry was only N60,000.
She said “I do not have N160,000 to give him, only if he can also pay me for the satisfaction I gave to him during the marriage and the cooking I have done over the years.”
Mohammed, however, countered by stating that if the plaintiff asserted she had met his expectations, he, too, had provided for her sustenance and welfare during their marriage.
Judge Mohammed Wakili, ruling on the matter, declared that it was not in accordance with Islamic principles for the plaintiff to find another wife for the respondent before he agrees to a divorce.
The case was adjourned until October 17 for judgment.

“Gospel music is not just sound; it carries power. When songs are inspired by Scripture, they can heal hearts, restore faith and redirect a nation toward righteousness,” he said.
Pastor Tochukwu made the remarks while discussing his latest worship single, “I Want To Pray,” a spiritually reflective song produced by Audio5.
He explained that the track was created to encourage believers to remain steadfast in prayer and maintain consistent fellowship with God.
The song draws inspiration from Luke 18:1, which urges believers to pray always and not lose heart.
A spiritual son of Paul Enenche, Pastor Tochukwu revealed that most of his songs are birthed from deep study of Scripture.
“Sometimes while studying or preaching from a passage, a melody begins to flow. The lyrics are drawn directly from the Word. Our songs are intentional; they carry the same message we preach,” he explained.
Reflecting on his journey, he recounted beginning as a drummer who also sang before discovering what he described as a divine instruction to minister through music.
“I realised that you don’t minister only through preaching. God made me understand that songs are another channel through which His Word can reach people. Every release is backed by Scripture,” he added.
Pastor Tochukwu currently serves in Lagos, combining pastoral leadership with music ministry.
The audio and video for “I Want To Pray” are now available on major digital streaming platforms.
