Malam Mukailu Naibi of Keke Village, Kaduna, whose wife allegedly
starved him of s*x for two years, on Wednesday demanded N1. 2 million as
compensation from the wife’s parents before an Abuja Area Court.
Naibi, while testifying at the resumed hearing of the case, told the
court that the amount, covered the bride price he paid before marrying
Maryam, his wife.
He also told the court that the amount also covered the cost of
damages done to the house after Maryam allegedly set the house on
fire before fleeing to court to seek divorce.
Naibi, 37 while tendering written documents with records of
all expenses made on his estranged wife and her parents, in addition to a
witness to testify in his favour, told the court that his wife had
refused to make love to him since they got married two years ago.
He also accused her of setting their house on fire.
“Your Worship, since we got married two years ago, my wife never
allowed me to make love to her for once and all my attempts to do it
always led to fighting.
“I married her out of love and I still love her, but with this
development, I have no choice, but to ask the court to grant her divorce
wish for the sake of peace,” Naibi said.
In her testimony, Maryam, who is 16 years old told the court how
unimpressed she was with the one time time her husband made love to her
hence, she wanted a divorce.
“I don’t love him, I don’t love anybody who bears his name and I hate anybody who loves him,” she told the court.
Maryam’s mother who was her only witness in court denied most of
Naibi’s claims but admitted some, saying that Maryam’s father was in a
better position to clarify some issues.
The Judge, Haruna Masanawa, after hearing all the submissions of the
parties in the case, ordered the court’s registrar to summons more
witnesses, including Maryam’s father.
He adjourned the case to Jan. 16, 2013 for further hearing.
