Malam Mukailu Naibi of Keke Village, Kaduna, whose wife allegedly
starved him of sex 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.
He also tendered
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.
Naibi, aged 37, had 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 that her husband
made love to her once, but that she was not impressed and so 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.
