Toke had filed for divorce on March 9, 2016 on the grounds that Maje committed adultery.
The presiding Judge, Justice Morenike Obadina, while delivering judgment ruled that, Ayida filed an answer to the petition but did not give oral evidence in support of it.
The Judge further indicated that, the position of the law was settled as pleadings did not amount to evidence.
“Pleadings on which no evidence was led are deemed abandoned. Therefore, Ayida’s evidence is deemed abandoned. The effect being that the petitioner’s evidence is unchallenged and uncontroverted,’’ she ruled.
