LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA))- One Jibrin Sawuta has dragged a middle-aged woman, Hassana Yohanna, before an Upper Customary Court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, for allegedly calling him impotent.

On getting to the station, he said, the defendant emerged from nowhere and started hurling insults at him, saying he was impotent and had no child.
He said after insulting him, the defendant inexplicably rushed at him.
The defence counsel prayed the court to grant the defendant bail on liberal terms after the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges read against her.
George Gwani, the presiding Judge, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N30,000 and one surety who must be a district head within the jurisdiction of the court.
Gwani adjourned the matter till 19 June to enable the complainant present witnesses to prove his case.
