Man Drags Wife To Court Over Alleged Abortion

  • Wife claims she had miscarriage due to bike accident

A woman in Kaduna has been docked following allegation of abortion levelled against her by her husband, Salisu Ibrahim.

NAN reports that Basira Adamu was arraigned before a Shari’a Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, by Ibrahim, 45, on Tuesday.

Represented by his counsel, M.M. Dahiru, the complainant told the court that defendant illegally entered his wife and carted away some of his possessions.

Ibrahim, a business man, said Adamu lied that she had a miscarriage due to bike accident.

“She travelled to Kano with her sister-in-law without my permission, claiming that she had a miscarriage due to a motorcycle accident”, he said.

The counsel noted that Ibrahim divorced his wife under duress.

‘My client upturned the divorce because of the love he had for her,” he said.

In her defence, Adamu through her lawyer Murtala Idris said that the miscarriage she had was not planned.

‘My client is no longer his wife because he granted her divorce and she has completed her waiting period (Iddah),” he said.

The judge, Malam Nuhu Falalu, said a man and his wife are one in statutory law and as such, there is no criminality between them.

He urged the two parties to try to settle the matter out of court and adjourned the matter until April 26 for a report of settlement.
