LG Boss Evicts Wife, Kids From Abuja House.

After ten years of marriage and your Wife gives birth to three beautiful girls, should you compensate her with a divorce and throw her belongings out in broad day light? Well, this is exactly what a sitting local government chairman in Nigeria did to his Wife and...

Daughters. The caretaker chairman of Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi State, Alhaji Bala Umar, has evicted his wife, Dr. Hauwa Haruna, and his three children (all girls) from his property in Abuja due to her "inability" to give him a male child.

Narrating her ordeal in tears, Dr. Hauwa said when the union was intact, she and her husband occupied the property, located at 92 Aminu Kano Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja, for over 10 years where they had their three daughters.

Trouble however started when she gave birth to her second daughter who is currently nine years old. She said Alhaji Umar became angry and queried her why she didn't bear a male child in spite of his earlier 'directive'. But the roof finally caved in when she got pregnant the third time and gave birth to another baby girl.

According to her, no sooner had the baby been delivered than Alhaji Umar absconded from their matrimonial home. Shortly after, she found him and demanded for money to take care of their children but got more than she bargained for. Her husband called for the termination of the 10-year-old union; he sought and secured a divorce, while the three girls were, based on Islamic tenets, left in the wife's custody.

Commenting on how her personal belongings were thrown out of the Wuse II apartment, Dr. Hauwa said she was at work when a friend called her that some men, led by police, had invaded her house and sought to take over the property. The invaders, she said, brought a document indicating that her estranged husband had sold the apartment and had defaulted on the order of the court to transfer the property to the new owner.

While she's not interested in any fight with those who claimed to have bought the property, her anger is

that Alhaji Umar, her estranged husband, never informed her that he has sold the house so she could make alternative arrangement for her children. "I don’t have any problem with him for selling his property but he should have told me about the judgment so that I could look for another accommodation for my children," she lamented.

The mother of three is however appealing to the Governor of Bauchi State, Malam Isa Yuguda, and other well meaning Nigerians to come to her aid as she had nowhere to take her children to.
