The Deputy Provost, College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Lafia, Nasarawa State, Mr Peter Aboki, has dragged a former Commissioner for Agriculture and Water Resources, Mr Alanana Otaki, to an Upper Area Court, Lafia, for snatching his wife.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the wife at the centre of the controversy, Mrs Felicia Aboki, has also filed a case against her husband seeking dissolution of their 18 years marriage.
Mr Shikama Shyeltu, Counsel to Mr Aboki, while addressing the court on Monday prayed that the case brought by the wife be suspended pending the determination on the matter of her alleged extramarital relationship with the former commissioner.
On his part, Mr David Meshi, Counsel to the defendant, said his client was no longer interested in the 18-year-old marriage to the applicant, which was why she decided to seek divorce.
Mr Joseph Agbo, Counsel to the ex-commissioner, argued that his client did not have hands in the marriage crisis between Mr and Mrs Peter Aboki.
Mr Abubakar Lanze, the presiding judge, after listening to the parties involved adjourned the case to September 15 for hearing.
