She told the court that she is no longer interested in the marital affairs that produced four children.
The Sharia Judge, Halliru Aliyu, declared that Ms Asiya has the right to end her marriage on the condition that she would be ready to return her bride price.
Ganduje’s daughter eventually returned the N50,000 bride price.
The court also dismissed Bala’s claim and demand for documents of property he insisted belonged to him and upheld the submission of the governor’s daughter not to relinquish the ownership.
