A man identified as Shehu Usman filed a lawsuit against his niece and sister-in-law Hauwa’u Muhammad and Jamila Kasim respectively in a Shari’a court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna State on Monday, September 30, over the alleged intimidation of his wife.

The defendants are being charged with intent insult, intimidation and trespass.

Mr Usman, a resident of Unguwan Shanu area of Kaduna, said that the duo entered his wife’s room, insulted her and threatened to beat her up.

He prayed the court to grant him justice.
