Sherif is seeking an order granting her custody of their three sons, a request opposed by Abubakar.Sherif had originally instituted the suit marked CV/41/2019 at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Gudu, but the case was later transferred to the Sharia Court of Appeal and marked CV/16/2020.
Sherif’s lawyer, Nasir Saidu, did not object to the request but asked that the press should be allowed to cover the proceedings in chambers.He also granted permission to journalists to cover the proceedings but directed that they must protect the interest of the children. When the matter resumed in chambers, the defence lawyer urged the court to adjourn the matter to enable him to present his last witness, who he said had yet to return from a trip to Dubai.Abubakar’s lawyer, who maintained that the witness was outside the country, said he was not opposed to his witness testifying virtually.He also agreed to hear the defence witness virtually if not physically present at the next sitting.
