7 yrs only. No wonder women just they stab and kill their husband anyhow. Like that Hausa lady in Abuja. 7 yrs too small 4 ma mind.
7 yrs seems lenient oh for murder, abi na self defense? Abi na bc she dey work for prosecution office? Nawaa.
Maybe it self defence the article said sustained injury as well. So when a man beats his wife, he should be read for the consequences unfortunately in this case the man did not live to tell the story. Lesson for anyone reading the story, walk away it doesn’t make sense to start a fight whether at home or elsewhere. Walk away ?
