In his defence, Jeola said he still loved his wife and prayed the court to give him time to reconcile with her.
He also prayed the court to assist him in persuading her to allow him have access to their son.
The Judge, Malam Murtala Nasir, adjourned the matter till Dec. 9 for possible reconciliation. (NAN)
