Woman drags husband to court for trying to choke her to death
A civil servant, Esther Anaagu, on Friday dragged her husband Emmanul before a Customary Court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, for attempting to choke her to death.
The petitioner who resides in Orozo, Abuja, in a divorce petition, said, “I can’t continue to live under the same roof with this man. He wants to kill me.
“He tried to choke me to death during an argument. I managed to escape. He later said he was possessed by an evil spirit. That it was not intentional.
“I pray the court to free me from this bondage called marriage,” the woman pleaded with the court.
In his defence, the respondent, Emmanul, who is a taxi driver, denied the allegations
The presiding judge, Labaran Gusau, advised the couple to explore other means of settlement, for the sake of the children, and adjourned the matter until February 8, for report of settlement or hearing.
