The Nigerian Army has court-martialed one Sgt. Abdulrazaq Moshood, a Military officer with command Army Records, Charimaigumeri barracks, Lokoja, Kogi State, for allegedly assaulting his wife and his six-month-old baby.

The victim of the assault identified as Mrs Firdause Abdulrazaq while demanding justice from Nigerians, said she had been suffering in the hands of her husband since 2014.

Mrs Abdulrazaq, who admitted that she has no home or business, told DAILY POST that she has to cry out for help, to put an end to the domestic violence meted on her by her husband.

Dailypost gathered that Sgt. Abdulrazaq Moshood after beating his wife, inflicting her with bruises, drove her out of the house with their six-month-old son and two-year-old daughter.

Mrs Abdulrazaq who converted to Muslim because of her husband narrated her ordeal to Dailypost, “My good people of Nigeria, all I want is justice. I have suffered in the hands of this man since 2014. Since I converted to Islam, it has not been easy for me. He always beat me as he liked, and treated me like an animal.

“Me and my two children are suffering. We need justice. Justice is all I want. The good people of Kogi State, the Muslims organization, I am also pleading and asking for your help and support to help me get justice and put an end to this domestic violence. It has not been easy for me and my two children.

“This man, I don’t know what will come upon him, but God knows the best. I need justice. Me and my two children are suffering. We have no home, no business and no place to stay. I have a two-year-old baby and six months old son. Right now we are on the street. We are pleading and we are asking for help.”

When asked on camera, Mrs Abdulrazaq’s 2-year old daughter confirmed that her dad usually beat her mum alongside the six-month-old baby with wire. The baby in a video said she cried out to her dad to let go of her mum when this was happening in their house.
