Borno state police command has arrested a husband, Mustapha Mohammed and his wife for stabbing a co-wife to death in Maiduguri, the state capital.
A statement issued on Thursday by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Sani Kamilu Shatambaya, disclosed that the arrested husband, Mustapha Mohammed, had accused his wife, one Bintu Mustapha, of an alleged extramarital affair with her ex-boyfriend.
On the same date, the said wife was found stabbed with a knife, lying unconscious in a pool of blood in her room.
He said on receipt of the information, a team of Policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) moved to the scene where the husband and the co-wife were seen trying to wash off the blood to erase evidence.
Shatambaya said the statement is in contrast to the fake news going around the town propagated by some mischievous and unpatriotic elements that some group of gangsters entered a dwelling house at Ajilari cross Bulunkutu with the intent to steal the housewife’s phone and stabbed her to death in the process.
Shatambaya said the commissioner of police, Borno state, CP Yusuf Mohammed Lawal, urged members of the public, particularly parents and guardians, to live up to their responsibilities by ensuring the proper upbringing of their children/wards.
