“For more than a year now, I have been battling to stay with him, if he does not stop, he should divorce me in front of this honourable court,” Ismail said.

The defendant, Jamilu Usman, 25, a scrap dealer at Makera, Rigasa, Kaduna, denied beating his wife.

“I am trying my best to see that I provide food for her and our 9-month-old baby, a few months ago I became penniless and now I am financially ok, I do try my best to feed them,” Usman said.
