A Nigerian, known to have been forced to divorce 82 of his 86 wives by an Islamic court, died last Saturday at the age of 93, a family representative said Monday.
"Baba refused to take medication, which was how he lived, his family always remained intact, and his 86 women were close to him when he died," Salahu Bello
When he was jailed years ago, the 86 wives and 20 of his 170 children demonstrated to the traditional court of justice in Minna (state capital) to testify to their support. The case was finally annulled.
Muhamadu Bello Masaba "was extinguished Saturday at his home" in Niger state (central Nigeria), his relative added.
In 2008, an Islamic court that enforces strict sharia law (Islamic law, which is established in 12 Nigerian states) detained him for "ostentatious contempt for religious laws" and for "unlawful union with 86 wives" .
He was ordered to keep only four, according to Islam. But Masaba - whose nickname was Baba (Father) - rejected it, arguing that he had not violated any religious principle.
Salahu Bello stated that Bello Masaba had left behind an "inheritance of trust, compassion and submission to Allah".
"He died at the age of 93, and anyone at that age should stick to suffering health problems," the source explained.

In his first speech as president, Trump has virtually cited Bane
In many on the internet have noticed that a passage of the first speech as US president uttered by Donald Trump during the inauguration yesterday is very similar to a phrase uttered by Bane, a character played by Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight - The back , one of the three films in the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan.
Bane in the movie, which is one of the bitterest enemies of Batman, says: "We take away the corrupt Gotham! To the rich! To generations of persecutors who subdued with the chimera of an opportunity. Return it to you, the people.
"Yesterday, however, Trump said:" Today we are not simply transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington DC and we are returning to you, the people. "

The end of his speech was one of the most filmed moments and discussed among the things he said during the event, which was attended by more than half a million people. Madonna said:
"We walk together in this march through the dark and with every step we know that we are not afraid, that we are not alone, that we will not give up, that there is power in our unit and that no other force can do it against the true solidarity. And for our detractors who insist that this event will have no effect: fuck you. "
