Mr Salisu Mohammed, 45, of Lugbe village, FCT, Monday, dragged his brother-in-law, Adamu Musa, before an FCT Area Court, Lugbe, over failure to cater for his wife.
.
Mohammed said, in a statement before the court, that Musa married his sister, Maryam, seven years ago, but brought her to her parents three months ago due to prolonged illness.
.
He said: "He abandoned my sister in our house and it is I and my parents that have been taking care of her feeding and sickness.
.
"We have been moving from one hospital to another and her condition is worsening.
.
"I want this court to order the defendant to come and take her to the hospital or in the alternative, pay the family N100,000 to enable us pay her medical bills."
,
.The defendant was not in court when the case was mentioned.
.
He was represented by his brother, Liman Musa, who claimed that the defendant was ill and could not come to court.
They've got lots of money to pay to lawyers so i don't blame them. Maybe it will solve the matter sha
If you have a wife you must do everything to cater for her because she is your property. Most men don't know dis and it's sad.
Well that is a very good man because this would make that inlaw think twice before he continues this bad behaviour.
