In his response, the counsel for the respondent, Umar I Umar, said the claim of the plaintiff was beyond the issue of dowry alone and argued that she held some properties belonging to his client.

However in a previous response, on the point of law, Counsel for Ganduje told the court that the plaintiff would not relinquish her rights for divorce.

The Counsel submitted that the plaintiff filed her claim for divorce alone.

Delivering the judgement, the trial judge, Mallam Abdullahi Haliru, ruled that the evidence adduced during the cause of trial proved that the plaintiff received the above sum.

According to him, the court gave the judgment based on what is supposed to be the basis of the marriage, which is the dowry.

The Judge hence ordered
to return the sum of N50,000 dowry.

Meanwhile, addressing the court after the judgement, the counsel to the respondent, Umar, prayed the court to supply him with records of the proceeding.

He also indicated his intention to approach the Upper court to test the analysis of the judgement.
