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, which was obtained by MAIDAWAAREWA, disclosed that the arrested husband Mustapha Mohammed had accused his wife, one Bintu Mustapha of an alleged extra marital 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 said 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 round 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 housewife’s phone and stabbed her to death in the process.

He said the command discounted the fake rumour and set the record straight by stating the true situation of the incident.

The PPRO said, “On 25th of August, 2023 at about 10pm , based on credible information, the Police Tactical Team arrested one Mustapha Mohammed male adult of Ajilari Cross Bulumkutu Maiduguri who accused his wife one Bintu Mustapha over an alleged extra marital affair with her ex-boyfriend. On the same date the said wife was found stabbed with a knife lying unconscious in pool of blood in her room. On receipt of the information a team of Policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer moved to the scene where the said husband and the co wife were seen trying to wash off the blood to erase evidence.

“Consequently, the husband Mustapha Mohammed and the co-wife Hafsat Musa both of the same address were arrested. The suspect confessed stabbing his wife to death. Case transferred to state Criminal Investigation Department for discreet investigation and diligent prosecution.
