A Nigerian businessman, Abdulkadir Oyeleke, has dragged his brother-in-law to court.
The man, yesterday, dragged his brother-in-law, Malam Sani, before a Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, seeking recovery of N69,000.
Oyeleke told the court that in January 2020, Sani’s wife, who was his elder sister, visited him in his shop and saw some ready made brocade-designed clothes and told him that her husband was interested.
Oyeleke said: “When Sani came, he selected four sets for N10,000 each. He picked two others, which cost N4,000 each and bought one deodorant.
“This is three months now. He has not paid me the money he is owing. He also begged me to lend him N20,000 and I did.
“Sani has stopped picking my calls or replying my messages. I am praying the court to order Sani pay me back my money.”
The defendant, Sani, a printer who resides within Kaduna metropolis, denied going to Oyeleke’s shop.
“My wife brought the clothes and forced me to patronise her brother,” Sani said. Sani also denied owing Oyeleke N20,000.
After listening to the parties, the judge, Murtala Nasir, ordered the complainant to produce witnesses to testify that the defendant promised to pay him any money for the clothes.
Nasir adjourned the case until January 28 for continuation.
