According to reports, during a quarrel on Wednesday, August 25, the accused from Girei town in Adamawa’s Girei Local Government Area allegedly broke his wife’s lower jaw and damaged her left eye.
Ruth, the victim, was unable to speak when she appeared in court on Thursday, August 26 after undergoing surgery to stitch and wire her broken jaw.
