A fifty-nine-year-old civil servant, John Ifedinkor, told a Grade I Area Court in Kubwa, Abuja, that his wife, Ngozi, threatened to kill him with a cutlass.
Being led in evidence, by the Prosecution Counsel, Babajide Olanipekun, Ifedinkor said Ngozi brought out the cutlass after an argument on December 13.
He said, “When I asked her why she had been lighting our stove in the night, she brought out an empty mortar and started pounding, so I got angry and asked her to stop it. She went into the room and brought out a cutlass and sharpened it with a knife. My wife held the cutlass and threatened to kill me.”
Ifedinkor added that his wife occasionally threatened to kill him and their children with poison.
The judge, Muhammad Adamu, adjourned the case to October 12 for cross examination. (NAN)
