A middle-aged woman was yesterday arraigned before an Abuja Chief Magistrate Court for allegedly smashing her husband\u2019s head with a stone for removing his DSTV Smart Card from their home.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Esther Ogunbayo of House 16, Phase II, Federal Housing Authority, Lugbe, Abuja, was accused of criminal force\/ assault, causing hurt and criminal intimidation, offences contrary to Sections 265, 246 and 397 of the Penal Code.<\/p>\n

He said the investigations revealed that on March 13, after the complainant (her husband) had removed his DSTV smart card from the house for use in his pharmacy shop, the accused used a stone and hit his head, adding that the accused also threatened to damage his two cars and cause more bodily injuries on him.<\/p>\n
He said that the accused person\u2019s incessant act of intimidation and threat made the complainant to vacate his house and pharmacy shop for some weeks.<\/p>\n
