<\/p>\nShakiru, while earlier testifying before Chief Ademola Odunade, the court\u2019s President, said that Mary had threatened to stab him with a knife.<\/p>\n
He said that she was abusive.<\/p>\n
Delivering judgment, Odunade held that the court granted the divorce to save a life.<\/p>\n
\u201dIf not for the angle of threat to life in the case, the court would have appealed to the plaintiff to change his mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the couple have no children, and in the interest of peace, Shakiru and Mary are no longer husband and wife henceforth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He ordered Shakiru to give Mary N3,000 to enable her pack her belongings.<\/p>\n
NAN reports that in his testimony, Shakiru said: \u201dthese days, I sleep with one eye open because three weeks ago, Mary took a knife and attempted to stab me. I narrowly escaped with my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat incident happened when she requested for N5,000 from me, but I was only able to give her N3,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cI reported the incident at a nearby police station and she was arrested and later granted bail.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her response, Mary, who did not deny most of the allegations, said that her husband was a stingy man.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy lord, Shakiru gives me money that is not sufficient.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is true that I attempted to stab him with a knife. I have begged him, his mother and other relatives for forgiveness,\u201d Mary said.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
