Man drags wife to court for denying him sex, having extramarital affair

A middle aged man, Alhaji Bala Ibrahim, had on Wednesday dragged his wife, Fatima before a Gwagwalada Upper Area Court in Abuja for staving him of sex for over a year, while at the same time having an affair with another man.

Ibrahim, who was led in evidence by the
police prosecutor, Insp. Martha Paul, told the court that he caught his wife, “red-handed” in bed with her lover on January 5.

“I caught my wife, Fatima at about 2 a.m. having sexual intercourse in her shop with one Nafiu Danaya, also a resident of Sharp Corner, Gwagwalada.

“This has been going on for quite some time now and I have been praying about it. At 2 a.m. I went to visit my wife. I was disappointed when I saw her naked and a male trouser and shirt on the ground beside her. She was shocked when she saw me and implored me to forgive her, promising never to repeat such again.

“She begged me not to allow other people to know about it and I agreed, but told her that her parents must know about it,’’ Ibrahim said.

He told the court that Fatima pleaded that her lover’s (Danaya) clothes which he seized be given back to him, but instead, he gave them to her sister.

Ibrahim noted that he immediately moved her out of the rented apartment to another location, but discovered that
she was still having an affair with her lover which prompted him to report Danaya to the police in Gwagwalada.

He added that even while the matter was in court his wife was still having an affair with the man.

The Judge, Alhaji Babangida Hassan, adjourned the case to April 29 for continuation.

“Having listened to the testimony of the nominal complainant, the court hereby adjourned the matter to April 29 for continuation of hearing,” he said.
