who dragged his wife, Ebere, to court, claimed that she assaults him at the
slightest provocation.

disagreement that degenerated into physical assault. Ajayi said the wife
assaulted her husband, leading to him being hospitalized.

wife pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge of assault and battery, and the
prosecutor asked the court to set a date for hearing.

Magistrate, Mrs E. Kubenije, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N100,000
with two sureties in like sum and adjourned the case to June 6th.
