Edwin Ugwu, 56, told an Ogba magistrate court in Lagos how his wife, Ebere, used to beat him up at the slightest provocation.
The beleaguered husband claimed that the constant battery reached a climax recently when his wife beat him into a coma and he was rushed to the hospital.
The prosecutor, DSP Kehinde Ajayi, told the court that the couple lived on Lambe Iluyomade Street in the Ago Okota area of Lagos and that they had a disagreement that turned into a heated argument before the wife beat her husband, resulting in his hospitalization.
The wife pleaded not guilty to the two-count assault and battery charge, and the prosecutor asked
The court will set a hearing date.
Mrs. E. Kubenije, the Magistrate, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in the same sum and adjourned the case to June 6.
