A man, Aku Bakari, has dragged his wife, Mary before a Customary Court in Nyanya, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over alleged threats to kill him.
The petitioner who resides in Nyanya, made the allegations in a divorce petition he filed against his wife in court.
“I now live in fear in my own house. My wife has made several attempts at killing me, because I told her to return to the church we have been attending since we got married 15 years ago.
“On the first occasion she attempted to machete me with a cutlass, but I was lucky to grab her hand and took the cutlass away from her.
“On another occasion, she tried to grab my penis but failed. She grabbed my neck tightly, my children saved me from her,” he said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Aku also told the court that she no longer played her role in the home as a wife and mother because she was always in the church.
The respondent, Mary who is a cleaner, denied the allegations.
The presiding judge, Doocivir Yawe, advised the couple to reconcile for the sake of the children and adjourned the case.
