Man jailed for non-payment of N2,250 child's feeding allowance

An Ado-Ekiti Cus­tomary Court yes­terday ordered that one Temitope Kayode be remanded in prison custody for his alleged refusal to pay N2,250 as outstanding feed­ing allowance to his child.
 
The court had, two weeks ago, ordered the debtor to pay the sum of N12,250, as feeding allowance to his child. On the date of adjournment, he paid N10,000 and has yet to pay the balance.
 
Kayode, 35, a tailor, told the court that he was unable to raise the whole money due to the low patronage in his business. He said that he tried his best not to disobey the order of the court, but all the money he could get was N10,000.
 
The debtor implored the court to give him more time to enable him look for the balance to pay but the president of the court, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, or­dered that the debtor be re­manded in prison custody until he was able to pay the balance.
 
She, however, adjourned the case to June 29 for re­port on the payment- The Authority
