A businesswoman, Mrs Nancy Ngi on Monday told a Customary Court in Nyanya, Abuja that her husband, Ozor  is violent as he hits her with a hammer.

The petitioner made the allegation in a divorce petition she filed against her estranged husband before the court.

“My husband is a violent man. He is short tempered and he throws dangerous things at me.

”He uses a hammer on me. I have been going through martial torture. It is even severer now than when we were newly married.

“Now he beats me in the from of our children with whatever he can lay his hands on.

”I pray the court to dissolve our marriage,” she said.

She also told the court that that her husband locked the storage room where foodstuffs were kept.

The petitioner also told the court that her husband was doubting the paternity of their son.

Responding, Ozor, denied the allegation.

Doocivir Yawe who was presiding over the matter, adjourned the matter until Feb. 20, for hearing.
