Judge orders man's leg cut off
January 7, 2003

By Goddy Ikeh

Lagos: A Muslim court in northern Nigeria has ordered that a 45-year-old man's leg be amputated as punishment for doing the same to his wife.

The Upper Sharia in the town of Bauchi made the
order against Adamu Hussaini Maidoya, who cut off the right leg of his wife, Amina. He accused her of infidelity, after "over exposing" herself to a doctor to get an injection.

Judge Alhaji Abdu Yerima ordered that the convict's right leg be amputated at the knee and that the person or doctor who executes the sentence should not administer anaesthetic or painkillers.

The judge quoted relevant sections of the Holy Quran and the Hadith to support his judgment and gave the convict 30 days to file an appeal.

"He must experience similar pain his wife went through when he cut off her right leg from the knee,'' the judge ruled.

Shortly before sentencing Amina Hussaini, who just been discharged from the Bauchi specialist hospital, told the court how on August 21 2002 her husband accused her of infidelity, overpowered her and cut her right leg off at the knee with a sharp machete.

Amina, who had been married to the accused for about 20 years and has eight children, including four-month-old twins, prayed for justice.

Maidoya, who wept profusely during the trial, pleaded guilty but pleaded for forgiveness, saying his act was destined by God. Maidoya, a trader, also told newsmen he was neither insane nor under the influence of alcohol when he cut off his wife's leg. - Independent Foreign Service
How is this for justice!! It sucks that his wife had to suffer. How the hell can someone do something like that to their wife?? Your supposed to love your wife, not try to kill her for going to the doctor!!! IMNSHO this guy got off a little too easy. They should have gotten both of his legs.

I don't usually enter into debates such as i do not consider myself a judge of men. In this case i think he's getting the very least that he deserves and far too much time to make an appeal.

In some "civilized" country, the penalty for committing murder is the death sentence, so in a way the "an eye for an eye" type of punishment is still being practiced but it is kind of cruel of chop off someone's hand...

I am a strong supporter of the Saxon legal system... an eye for an eye... or... money for an eye (wergild)... course, i don't support the swearing... where the guilty party is chosen by how many and what rank of people swear that they are guilty...

I wish the article had mentioned what the wife will do now. I mean is she able to divorce the jealous maniac for what he's done? What happens to their children if she does? Were the children there when he assaulted their mother? Who will help her with the youngest children now that she can't move around as easily?

It's amazing how one stupid, jealous, violent, angry OVER-reaction can change so many people's lives. And all she wanted was an immunization?! sheesh!

I don;t think the guy should get his leg cut off. Eye for an eye does NOT work. It just ends up in feuds lasting hundreds of years if people kept getting revenge on things done to them and their friends/family.
This guy should be sentenced to at least 15 years forced hard labour that actually benefits the community and therefore alleviates the cost of keeping him under security.

I couldnt agree more , Cloudy. Maybe we could get something like this going in the U.S. So that men who beat their wives will get similar treatment at the hands of the law. I wonder how a wife beater would feel if he knew some 250 lb neanderthal was going to beat on him like he beat on his wife?
