A housewife, Maryam Musa, has dragged Kabiru Sulaiman, her husband before a Shari’a Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, Kaduna State over alleged assault and humiliation.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Musa told the court that Kabiru assaulted and sent her packing after a misunderstanding.
“He choked and hit me in the stomach. He locked 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 the court to give him time to settle with his wife.
The judge, Malam Isiyaku Abdulrahman, adjourned the case till July 10.
