The Police in Adamawa State have arrested a 57-year-old commercial driver for allegedly stabbing his 40-year-old wife to death at Lande B Village in Gombi local government area of the state.
The police said in a statement by its spokesperson, Suleiman Nguroje, that the man, Muhammed Alfa, stabled the wife, Hamsatu Muhammad with a knife on the neck on the New Year day, over a little disagreement.
