He said the offence contravened Sections 97, 92, 387 and 388 of the penal code.
The prosecutor said the first and third accused, Abdulwahab and Sa’adatu were husband and wife.

“Abdulwahab invited his friend, Muktar to his house situated at Gezawa, Kano on the same date, where Muktar had unlawful sexual intercourse with his wife at his presence.”
He said the Saadatu confessed that her husband forced her to have sex with his friend and threatened to deal with her if she refuse.
Musa also said Saadatu was thereafter rushed to the Gezawa Hospital for treatment.
