A 33-year-old man, Kema Akejelu, on Thursday appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for beating up his wife and pushing her from a storey building.
The accused, a carpenter, who resides at Seun Nwachi Street, Idimu, a suburb of Lagos, is facing a two-count charge of assault, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

She adjourned the case to February 15, 2017 for mention.
