A Chief
Magistrate Court in Tinubu, Lagos, on Wednesday granted full custody of the
children of the son of former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku, Aminu, to his
estranged
wife, Fatima Bolori.
Kikelomo
Ayeye, the Chief Magistrate, ordered that the two children – Aamir, 7, and
Ameera, 9 – reside with Ms. Bolori at her residence in Katampe Extension in
Abuja.
Aminu and
his lawyer were absent in court.
“The
applicant (Ms. Bolori) is ordered to put the children in schools suited for
their educational needs in Abuja,” the magistrate said.
“Access is
granted to the respondent (Aminu) to visit his children in Abuja and request
for the children to spend holidays with him.
“The
respondent is ordered to pay monthly upkeep for the children in the amount of
N250,000 monthly beginning January 2018 and also effect medical insurance on
each of the children.”
Aminu and
his estranged wife, Ms. Bolori, engaged in a messy custody battle over their
two children last year after their divorce in 2011.
The children
were living with their mother, with an arrangement that they should be allowed
to spend their vacation with their father.
In October,
the magistrate ordered that Aminu be remanded in a transit cell of the court
for disobeying a court order to produce Aamir, but was later released when he
fulfilled the court order.
