AliKiba dragged to court for child support

Dar es Salaam. It was a dream wedding that drew attention from across the region, one that belonged to the fairy tales.

However just a few days after wedding his Kenyan sweetheart, Amina Khaleef, and with a planned trip to Venice, Italy for his honeymoon on track, Bongo Flava star Alikiba was dragged to court for child support.

According to local daily, the artiste was taken to court by a businesswoman Hadija Hassan, who claims Alikiba has been slacking on his responsibilities of providing for their five-year-old daughter.

The newspaper reported that Hadija moved to the Childrens’ Court in Kisutu, Dar es Salaam on April 17, 2018 – demanding child support.

In her claims, Hadija say she lives in Magomeni, in the Tanzanian capital and earns her living through the sale of second-hand clothes.

Hadija also claims she gave birth to her daughter with Ali Kiba in January 2013 in Dar es Salaam and that the musician has violated the Tanzanian Children’s Act 2009 regarding child support.

Hadija also claims that Alikiba has failed to pay for their daughter’s school fees of Sh950,000.

She now wants the court to compel the artiste to pay a total of Tsh1.3 Million for the child’s monthly upkeep as well as the ‘arrears’ of the months accrued since he stopped remitting the money.
