Both Nazifi, 30, and Bilkisu, 25, who reside in Gui village, Airport Road, Abuja, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy.

Nazifi told the court that he was unaware of Bilikisu’s married status and pleaded with the complainant to forgive him and for the court to show him mercy.

The housewife corroborated Nazifi’s statement, admitting that she had consensual intercourse with him and did not disclose her marital status.

The woman was quoted as saying:

“I am aware that under any custom, it is an offence to sleep with any man you are not married to. I practice Islam, I know it is an offence to sleep with another man when still married. I am still married to the complainant, and my youngest child is three years old. I plead with my husband to forgive me, and for the court to show me mercy,” Bilkisu said.

What is a magistrate court?

A magistrate court in Nigeria is a lower court that handles minor civil and criminal cases.

These courts are presided over by magistrates with limited jurisdiction compared to higher courts.

Magistrate courts are often the first point of contact for legal disputes and can deal with cases involving small claims, misdemeanours, preliminary hearings for serious offences, and other minor matters.

They play a crucial role in the Nigerian judicial system by providing accessible and efficient justice at the grassroots level.
