When the matter came up on Wednesday 18th October, 2017 for the discharge of “emergency, evacuation/protection order” made by the court, lawyer to Aminu informed the court that the parties were making plans to settle the matter out-of-court.

Fatima’s lawyer, Nwabuzor Okoh, denied ever receiving any notification or information from the respondent to settle the matter out-of-court.

When Aminu and Fatima divorced in 2011, their children were initially with their mother, with an arrangement that they would be spending vacation with their father.

During one of the school holidays in 2013, Aminu requested that the children be released to him for a trip abroad after which he held onto them, leading to the court case.
