Being led in evidence, by the Prosecution Counsel, Babajide Olanipekun, Ifedinkor said that Ngozi brought out the cutlass after an argument on Dec. 13.
”When I asked her why she has been lighting our stove in the night. She brought out an empty mortar and started pounding, so I got angry and asked her to stop it.

” My wife held the cutlass and threatened to kill me, ” Ifedinkor said.
