Man Divorces Wife After She Was Arrested When Police Raided A Hotel..

A man has reportedly divorced his wife at a police station in Minna, Niger State, shortly after she was arrested by security operatives during a raid on a hotel.

A security operative, who spoke to Daily Trust on condition of anonymity, said the woman was among several people apprehended during a clampdown on hotels suspected to be hideouts for sara-suka gang members and drug dealers.

According to him, her marital status only became known after she was brought to the police station and the relatives of those arrested were contacted.

“Following the recurring youth restiveness and attacks on innocent citizens, the Deputy Governor, Comrade Yakubu Garba, after going round Minna recently, directed security operatives to go after the youths causing the unrest and stopping innocent citizens from going about their businesses,” the source said.

“We embarked on the operation at some hotels suspected to be their hideouts. During the operations, many suspects were arrested, including women. And to our surprise, a man came to say that one of the women was his wife, and instantly, he divorced her three times

“We didn’t know that she was married and did not know what took her there because police had not yet conducted an investigation about the suspects when the husband came to the station.”
