suspecting her husband of the act “ because of the way he carries the
twin daughters.

will rise up, and if he is not satisfied with that, he will go and pull
off his cloth and tie his towel,” she told the court. The petitioner
also alleged that her husband might have had carnal knowledge of her
daughter. “There was a day the twin had a nap in their father’s room in
the evening but when they were having their bath the next morning, one
of them was complaining of a pain in her private part.

custody of the children. The husband, Okechukwu , also a business man,
however denied all the allegations. The Presiding officer, Mr Labaran
Gusau, adjourned the case to Nov. 16th for hearing.
