Ali Kiba’s wife files for divorce claiming abandonment, seeks Ksh.200K upkeep

Amina, according to papers filed at the Mombasa Kadhi’s court, said the marriage is irretrievably broken, hence the need to get it over and done with once and for all.

Amina cited constant squabbles with the singer’s friends and family members who lived with them at their matrimonial home which they had moved into following their flashy April 19, 2018 wedding.

She stated that the disagreements caused her mental anguish, leading to her leaving their home in October the same year they walked down the aisle while pregnant with their first child.

Amina said the ‘Utu’ hitmaker did not even cover the hospital bills for when she gave birth to their son on February 19, 2019; adding that, upon her return home, the situation only went from bad to worse, with the singer allegedly even being verbally abusive towards her.

Further, the Bongo star’s estranged wife claimed that he was largely unwilling to provide for her and their child, and would only do so every once in a blue moon after persistent pestering.

“Despite reaching out to Kibe to try to resolve their matrimonial disputes, Kiba has been unwilling and unresponsive to the petitioner’s efforts,” read court papers.

“It would be in the interest of justice that the marriage be dissolved.”

Amina now wants the marriage formally dissolved, and the heavy hitter directed to pay a medical cover for their two children as well as wire her a monthly upkeep of Ksh.200,000.

Amina filed for the divorce on January 8, 2021 and on April 28 the same year, Chief Kadhi Ali Abdalla issued orders for her to serve summons to the artiste in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.

Kiba was on Thursday last week directed to reply to the petition within 15 days by the Kadhi’s court.
