A magistrates’ court sitting in the Pada area of Zaria City in Kaduna State has remanded a man, Abdulkudus Yusuf, for inflicting injuries on his wife, Sa’adatu Habibu.

The Magistrate, Ibrahim Sa’idu Baban Ja’eh, sent the man to a correctional facility until August 15, 2023, when hearing in the case will begin.
