A man simply identified as Zakaria Waye of Girei town in Girei Local Government Area, Adamawa state has beaten his wife, Ruth Zakaria, to the extend of breaking her lower jaw and damaging her left eye.
Zakaria, was alleged to have badly brutalised his middle age wife, and ended up breaking her lower jaw as well as damaging her left eye during a quarrel on Thursday.
Already, the accused person has been remanded in a prison custody as ordered by Chief Magistrate Abdulrazak Adamu, of Chief Magistrate Court 4 in Yola after he admitted beating her.
Ruth who bore 5 children for Zakaria, could not be able to talk when she was brought to court on Thursday, due to surgery and stitching/wiring of her broken jaw.
The husband was alleged to have beaten his wife for about 7 times whenever misunderstanding between him and his wife ensued even in the presence of their children.
But when arrested and brought to court for offences of causing a grievious hurt among other offences, Zakaria pleaded guilty.
He told the court that his wife should be blamed for the trouble in the family, alleging that she held his private part; hence yestarday's beating.
The court presided by Magistrate Abdulrazak Adamu, ordered that the accused be remanded at Yola Correctional Centre, and adjourned the matter to the 22nd November, 2021, for hearing.
