COURT ORDERS ACCUSED HAIR SHAVED

The complainant had told the court that on May 11 at about 9 p.m., he drove into his compound and parked but he later heard Abubakar insulting him, adding that when he approached  him(Abubakar) to find out the cause of the insults, the defendant started beating him without any provocation.

“I restrained myself and refused to beat Yusuf. Instead, I reported the matter to police and the issue was resolved and Abubakar was asked to apologise to me, which I accepted. But after some days, my wife told me that Abubakar’s mother, Hajiya Sa’adatu Shehu, came to his house and insulted my wife by calling her degrading names. Abubakar’s mother even told my wife that I planned to kill the defendant.”

Penpushing further reports that,  Abubakar in his defence denied the allegations, saying he never beat up Yusuf, stating that  he was with his friends when  Yusuf beamed his car headlamps on them, adding that “instead of apologising, he began to insult us, I never raised my hand on him.”

Meanwhile,the judge thereafter ordered the two to return home and live in peace with one another, stressing that  they would be severely dealt with, should they be brought before him again over the matter.
