Bongo star Ali Kiba has until February 25 to respond to a divorce suit filed by his wife Amina Khalef.
A Kadhi’s court in Mombasa on February 10 gave the Tanzanian singer 15 days to respond to the suit, failure to which the case would proceed in his absence.
“Should you fail to appear within the time mentioned above, the plaintiff may proceed with the suit and judgment given in your absence,” the court papers read.
According to court papers, Khalef said she was filing for a suit because she was not getting a safe environment at their home in Dar-es-Salaam.
Khalef who got married to Kiba in April 2018, accused him of infidelity adding that she had allegedly faced verbal abuse from her in-laws, which she says began about six months into their marriage.

“The respondent [Kiba] has made a mockery of their marriage by disrespectfully engaging in public displays of infidelity with various women in total disregard of the petitioner's feelings,” her suit papers read.
Khalef says efforts to try to resolve their marriage issues have been futile as her husband has been unresponsive, concluding that the marriage was broken beyond repair.
“The marriage is irreversibly severely broken with no chance of being salvaged,” she said.
Khalef is now demanding Sh200,000 monthly upkeep for her and their children as well as medical cover for the two.

Musician Kevin Bahati has come out to defend himself against allegations of faking his expensive gifts to his wife Diana Marua, 'Diana B'.

The statement comes at a time netizens had accused the Mama hitmaker of living a lie, after gifting his wife a new Toyota Landcruiser Prado TX, a 4-bedroom mansionette and piece of land in the span of one week.
“To those who are doubting that God can bless a poor boy from the slums let me confirm this; yes I am a boy from Mathare slums and to those that believe God can raise a man from poverty to glory may God do it for you too in Jesus' name. The God who raised me is faithful to bless anyone,” Bahati explained.
