During the proceedings, Aminu informed the court that he had paid both children’s school fees for the entire year and persuaded the cour to let the kids stay wit hI’m.
Chief Magistrate Ayeye, however, ordered Aminu to write a letter to the kids’ school, introducing Fatima as their mother and permitting her unfettered access to the children in their school, at any time of the day. Aminu was also ordered to allow the kids spend weekends, public holidays as well as Christmas with their mum when ever she is in Lagos.
The court has also been directed to deposit the children’s international passport with their mother Fatima Balori.
Reports indicated that the kids entered the courtroom at 1:28p.m. in the custody of their mother, played for a few minutes with their father, who arrived earlier, the proceeding later was held in the judges chamber. But minuted later daughter of the estranged couples walked out crying and was console by a lawyer and she went back.
The case was adjourned till January 10, 2018.
