what an embarrassment!
There was confusion at the Magistrate’s
Court II at Azare, Katagum Local Government
Area of Bauchi State, when the registrar of the
court slapped a woman over N50.
The husband of the woman is said to be unhappy
over the development and had subsequently
dragged the Registrar to Magistrate Court I to
seek redress.
It all started when Lado Ibrahim, a Fulani woman,
who sells fresh cow milk, known as Nunu in local
parlance, demanded for her money from the
registrar identified as Joseph Obaje, in the court
premises.
Joseph was said to have bought Nono worth N50
from 38-year-old Lado and had refused to pay.
He was clearly infuriated when Lado persistently
asked for her money. But instead of paying her
money, the court Registrar was said to have
slapped the mother of five and allegedly called
her a prostitute.
The development prompted the Miyetti Allah
Cattle Breeders Association in Katagum Local
Government Area to intervene.
The National Deputy Chairman II of the
association, Muhammad Geri, told newsmen that
the matter would have degenerated into a
religious crisis, but for their prompt intervention.
He said Lado’s husband felt aggrieved over what
happened and was slighted that instead of
reporting his wife to him, the registrar slapped
her.
“He is a peaceful man and does not want to take
the law into his hands, so he went to court,” the
Miyetti leader said.
