Woman Sues Husband To Court For Biting Her In Gombe

A Nigerian wife, Lawiza Muazu, has dragged her husband, Alhaji Muazu to court for allegedly biting her during an argument.

In a magistrate court sitting in Unguwar Idi, Gombe State, the wife accused her husband of constantly beating her while also maintaining that he had bitten her during an argument.

She said: “The latest quarrel we had was when I refused to cook food for the house. My action was a result of the non-provision of firewood or charcoal by him.

“When he beat me for the first time, I went home, but my father asked me to go back. My husband later resorted to biting me after the beating. He would bite my fingers for refusing to cook food.’’

Lawiza, therefore, prayed the court to dissolve the marriage between her and her husband as she could no longer put up with the treatment being meted on her.

However, her husband denied the allegations brought against him.

He said: “She refused to cook for one week which contravened the gentleman agreement that my two wives will serve food to the house on their cooking days.

“In protest of not being served by her co-wife, Lawiza got hold of me demanding for her right. She put her hands in my pocket trying to remove money by force. It was as a result of it that quarrel ensued between us but I never bit her.”
