One Shehu Usman on Monday dragged his niece and sister in-law Hauwa’u Muhammad and Jamila Kasim respectively to a Shari’a court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna state over alleged intimidation of his wife.
The defendants are being charged with intent insult, intimidation and trespass.

He prayed the court to grant him justice.
The defendants, who are married women, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
