Ahuwa told newsmen that his wife had been denying him sex for a long time.
He said: “My wife does not listen to me.Anytime I asked her to come and sleep with me, she will decline.We have given birth to seven children.
“I reported my wife to my family and hers too, but she failed to listen to them and continued with her old ways.Meanwhile, I heard that she has been sleeping with some pastors.”
