“One day she covered my face with a bucket and assaulted me before chasing me from the house.
“She damaged my eardrum and I am going to the doctor for a review on January 22.
“I started staying around the tuck shop area when she first chased me from the house. Now I’m staying at a church in Dzivaresekwa,” said Robert.
Lucia denied chasing her husband from home, saying he had claimed to be a prophet when he returned from Mozambique and indicated that he wanted to stay outside to network with the spirit.
“He would take his blankets and sleep outside, telling me that he wants to talk to God.
“He even reported me kuna Father ku-church that I am chasing him from the house and selling household property kuti ndibviswe uniform yekuRoma,” said Lucia.
Magistrate Sharon Mashavira granted the protection order to Robert and ordered Lucia not to chase him from their matrimonial home.
