Two men are dragging a woman with one of them claiming that the woman is his wife while the other man, who allegedly impregnated her, claimed that she did not tell him that she was married.
The husband of the woman, James Olanga had reported a 40 year old Abubakar Sadiq, at Karmo Police Station in the Federal Capital Territory on July 17, accusing him of not only sleeping with his wife but impregnating her.
James Olanga told the police that Abubakar Sadiq intentionally committed adultery with his wife and impregnated her, alleging further that Abubakar deceived his wife by buying her clothes.
However, Abubakar claimed that the woman did not tell him that she was married, saying that the two of them met as adults and got involved in the love affair and that he did not deceive her.
The two combatants, who are living in the same compound in Karmo, have dragged themselves to Grade 1 Area Court, Karmo, where the court granted Abubakar bail in the sum of N30,000.
According to the police who slammed Abubakar with a four-count charge bordering on abduction, adultery and enticing married woman, the offences contravened Sections 272, 387, 388 and 389 of the Penal Code.
The trial Judge, who granted Abubakar bail demanded for surety in the like sum and that such surety must reside within the court’s jurisdiction. He should also produce utility bill with his name on it.
The case was adjourned to August 16 for hearing.
