My husband has not slept with me for 2 years, woman tells court

A 25-year-old house wife, Ruqayya Mukhtar  has told a Shari’a court sitting at Rigasa, Kaduna, Kaduna State, that her husband has not slept with her for two years .

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the complainant who prayed the court to dissolve her marriage to one Naziru Hamza, also complained that her husband assaulted and insulted her.

The defendant in his defense denied all the allegations saying he tried his best to satisfy his wife sexually.

I sometimes come home late and tired after going out to seek for our daily bread, but my wife doesn’t understand. She is always demanding for intimacy.

“I oblige many times and sometimes beg her to be patient till the following morning.

“I don’t beat her,” he said.

The judge, Malam Anass Khalifa, asked the complainant if she had witnesses and she said yes.

He thus adjourned the case and asked the complainant to present her witnesses.
