Court gavel
A housewife, Maryam Musa on Wednesday dragged Kabiru Sulaiman, her husband before a Shari’a court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna over alleged assault and humiliation.
Musa told the court that Sulaiman assaulted and sent her packing to her parents house after a misunderstanding.
“He choked and hit me in the stomach. He locks me out of the house.
“I still love my husband but the beating is too much for me. If he won’t stop beating me, then he should divorce me,” she said.
In his defence, the defendant who spoke through his counsel, Malam Jamilu Sulaiman, denied the allegations saying he does not beat his wife.
He prayed court to give him time to settle the couple .
The judge Malam Isiyaku Abdulrahman adjourned the matter until July 10 for repot on settlement.(NAN)
