Ali Kiba's wife files for divorce, alleges infidelity

Tanzanian sensational singer Ali Kiba's wife Amina Khalef has filed for divorce alleging the singer deserted her and their two children.

According to papers filed at the Mombasa Kadhi’s court, Amina said the marriage is irretrievably broken, hence the need to end it once and for all.

She cited constant quarrel with the singer’s relatives and friends who lived with them at their matrimonial home.

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

Ali Kiba and Amina walked down the aisle in April 2018.They held two humongous weddings in Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.

Amina said the ‘Bwana Mdogo’ hitmaker did not cater for the hospital bills for when she gave birth to their son on February 19, 2019; adding that, upon her return home, the situation worsened, with her accusing the singer of being verbally abusive towards her.

She further claimed that he was unwilling to provide for her and their child, and would only do so after a heated argument.

“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.
