What he forgot to add is that the Penal Code only applies to Northern Nigeria and it is very Shari'a centric.

The relevant statute for Southern Nigeria is the Criminal Code.

The Penal Code allows husbands to beat their wives as a form of correction in the same way that a father beats his children or a teacher disciplines a pupil.

Section 55(1)(d) of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria provides that an assault by a man on a woman is not an offense if they are married, if native law or custom recognizes such “correction” as lawful and if there is no grievous hurt.

Section 55 of the Penal Code is actually titled:

Correction of Child, Pupil, Servant or Wife

Odumanudo:
He does not know what he is saying. The Penal code does not apply to Lagos State. He want to bring Shariah compliance Code into Lagos. The Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015 governs the administration of criminal justice system in Lagos State. I do not support adultery, however, adultery is not a crime in almost all the southern states of Nigeria.
