After 11 years of divorce, a Customary Court in Rumuogba, Rivers State, has stripped Mrs Kate Ngbor from continuing to bear her former husband’s name with immediate effect.
The claimant, Chief Sam Ngbor, in Suit No: OCC/9/2021, sought the court order to restrain his former wife from bearing his name.
The court, after the submissions from E. O Erhirhi, counsel to the claimant and R.U Egwenre, counsel to the defendant, granted the orders.
The court ordered that the defendant has no right, except on the express permission of the claimant, to continue to bear or answer the name “Ngbor” or “Sam-Ngbor” (as the case may be).
The court consequently stripped the defendant of the name “Ngbor” or “Sam-Ngbor” .
The court ordered the defendant to revert to her maiden name or any other name of her choice, and not “Ngbor” or “Sam-Ngbor” as the case may be.
