“The defendant is taking advantage of the trust between her and my client, she always goes to my client’s house dressed seductively and my client feels free and reveals everything bothering her marriage to her.
“Fatima has a shop at Malali, Kaduna, the defendant goes there uninvited to seduce her husband who sometimes stays at the shop, we have witnesses to testify on this,” he said.
“After all efforts of the defendant to gain access into the heart of my client’s husband, Sulaiman Jere, failed, she began to spread rumors that my client’s husband usually meet her to calm her down and that he loves her.
“This act contravenes section 174, 373, 158 and 232 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law 2002.
“We are praying to the court to proffer appropriate sanction to the defendant for threatening my client and for betraying the trust between them,” the counsel added.
