An automobile mechanic, Mr Sammul Salisu, on Monday dragged his wife Blessing, before a Customary court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, for attempting to stab him with a knife.
In a petition, Salisu, who resides within the jurisdiction of the court, alleged:” I can’t continue to live under the same roof with this woman.
”She is violent and bags a lot. She threatens to harm me with different weapons whenever we have a misunderstanding.
”I was forced to move out from my home to a friend’s house because of her violent attitude,” he alleged.
He also alleged that his wife does not cook for him as the man of the house.
Blessing, who is a full-time house wife, denied all the allegations and told the court to dissolve the marriage.
The presiding judge, Jemilu Jega adjourned the matter until Jan. 26 for continuation of hearing
