Sani Muhammad Minister has initiated legal proceedings against his in-laws, specifically Mansir Sharada, before the Upper Sharia Court at Post Office Road in Kano Municipal. The matter revolves around his wife's absence from Saudi Arabia for a year following their marriage.
According to Barrister Bashir Garba Labbo, representing the complainant, the situation began when Sani met a woman named Naja’atu and discussed the possibility of marriage. Subsequently, Mansir Sharada, who acted as the bride's guardian, paid the complainant N500,000 in connection with the marriage arrangements.
A wedding date was set, and the complainant was compensated with an additional N150,000 as dowry. However, shortly after the wedding, Naja’atu embarked on a journey to Saudi Arabia and has not returned after spending a year there. This prolonged absence has prompted Sani Muhammad Minister to take legal action against his in-laws.
