A Nigerian student, John Nwadiaju in the UK has been sentenced to 11 months in prison for domestic abuse against his wife, Kosisochukwu Echem.
The man, identified as John Nwadiaju was handed the sentence on Friday – also handed down with 250 hours of unpaid work by the Caernarfon Crown Court.
According to the North Wales Chronicle, Nwadiaju and Echem married in Nigeria in April 2022 but separated in August 2022 following reports of domestic abuse and violence.

Despite claiming self-defense, Nwadiaju was found guilty, and Judge Nicola Saffman sentenced him to 11 months in prison, suspended for one year, and ordered him to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work.
