He said, “My neighboour told me that my mother in-law came to our house and took my wife away. I love my wife and I don’t deprive her of her needs.’’

The wife, Ma’arufat, told the court that she also loved her husband but had to leave because he told her to leave because there was no food at home, adding that she had ulcer.

The Khadi, Malam Rilwanu Kyaudai, ordered the couple to apologise to each other and adjourned to August 30.
