A farmer, Tanko Abubakar, on Wednesday told Kaiama Area Court in Kwara that his wife's divorce suit was instigated by another man in her life.

Abubakar said that his wife, Mariam went to court for dissolution of their marriage in spite of plea to her against it.

He alleged that the man pressing her on the divorce suit made her to move out of their matrimonial home, adding that he man resided at Gweria village in Kaiama Local Government Area in Kwara.

He pleaded with the court to urge his wife to come back and take care of their children, saying that one of the children she left with him fell sick after their mother moved out of the house.

Abubukar told the court that he still loved his wife and was not ready for a divorce.

Mariam had pleaded with the court to dissolve her marriage to Abubakar, claiming that love was no longer existing between them.

She told the court that the marriage was blessed with a boy and a girl, but said that no reconciliatory move would make her to change her decision on the suit.

In his ruling, the presiding judge, Malam Ahmed Yahaya, ordered that the man alleged to be behind the suit to be brought to the court.

Yahaya therefore adjourned the case till June 23.
