Report from Adamawa State, North East Nigeria says, a 63-Year-Old Man, Aminu Mahdi, has been arrested for allegedly killing his wife.
Aminu, who is a former staff of Adamawa State Universal Basic Education Board, hails from Yelwa Ward in Mubi North Local Government Area of the state.
He allegedly descended on his second wife, Hadiza Zubuchi, 46, for denying him access to her bed.
Confessing to the crime, the suspect told the police that he did not intend to kill his wife.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje disclosed to newsmen on Thursday that Aminu returned home at 9:00 pm last Sunday, the 27th August, 2023, to meet the circumstances that culminated in his snuffing the life out of his wife.
Nguroje said after Aminu ate his food and changed his clothes, he went to the room he was to spend the night with his wife, but his wife denied him the use of her bed.
As the wife would not let him touch her and she instead started hitting him with a stick, he snatched the stick from her and beat her up repeatedly.
The beating became so severe that the wife, who he married in 2016, died eventually.
“I didn’t expect that this kind of incident would happen to me. It was a mistake,” Aminu told the Police.
