Wife accuses husband of sodomy, seeks divorce

[PeoplesDaily]

A 20-year-old house wife, Aisha Sani, of Nasarawa Kakuri in Kaduna, has dragged her husband to the Magajin Gari Sharia Court, accusing him of sodomy and battery.

She told the court yesterday that her husband, Abubakar Usman, engages her in sodomy after allegedly charming her.

Aisha also contended that Usman used to beat her whenever she complained, a situation which made her to vacate her matrimonial home six weeks ago.

Usman, 30, who resides at Hayin Rigasa area of the city, denied the allegation.

He said the marriage was contracted only six months ago and was yet to understand why the wife was accusing him of sodomy.

He told the court that he would accede to the wife's request if she would pay back the dowry paid on her.

The presiding officer, Khadi Usman Abubakar, summoned the parents of the couple to appear before the court on June 24, for continuation of hearing. (NAN)
