Police in Bauchi State have arrested 50-year-old for allegedly killing his second wife, Wasila Abdullahi, 24.
The Command’s spokesperson, Ahmed Wakil, revealed this in a statement on Sunday, saying that on Saturday, the command was alerted to an alleged culpable homicide incident near Government Girls College, Fadamam Mada Area, Bauchi.
He said the event arose from a misunderstanding between Isah, a businessman at Central Market Bauchi, and his second wife, Wasila Abdullahi, aged 24, concerning handling food ingredients and fruits designated for breaking the Ramadan fast, which escalated into a violent confrontation.
Wakil said Isah allegedly used a cane to strike his wife, which resulted in her collapsing and becoming unconscious within their matrimonial residence.
“The victim was subsequently transported to Abubakar Tafawa Belewa University Teaching Hospital, ATBUTH Bauchi, where medical personnel confirmed her death.”
He said the Bauchi State Police Command had initiated a thorough investigation into the incident and has apprehended the suspect, Nuru Isah, adding that the cane purportedly used in the assault has been recovered as an exhibit, and the deceased has been placed in the mortuary pending autopsy procedures.
