 Deaf Man Sues Ex-Lover Over N100,000 Savings and Broken Marriage Promise


A hearing-impaired man, Kuma Haruna, has taken his former lover, Malma Bilkisu, to a Shari’a court in Kaduna State, seeking the return of his N100,000 savings, which he claims she refuses to repay.


Haruna’s brother, Abubakar, testified in court that Haruna had been entrusting his money to Bilkisu for safekeeping. However, when he requested the funds, she claimed to have only N80,000, significantly less than the N175,000 he estimated.


The dispute was initially brought before a Shari’a court in Rigasa, where Bilkisu presented N80,000, but Haruna refused to accept it. The judge proposed that both parties swear on the Quran, but they never returned to finalize the case.


Now, the matter has been refiled in a different Shari’a court, which has adjourned proceedings until March 17, when Bilkisu’s lawyer is expected to present her defense.


In addition to the financial dispute, Haruna is also seeking justice over Bilkisu’s alleged failure to fulfill her promise to marry him.
