Barely one week after the police in Adamawa apprehended a man for beating his wife to death, a similar incident has re-occurred in the state.
Hammawa Usman, 41, of Jada Ward, Ganye town in Ganye Local Government Area is currently in police net for killing his 36-years-old wife, Rabiyatu Usman, in a dispute involving N1,000.
Sulaiman Nguroje, Police spokesman, confirmed the incident in a statement he issued on Thursday in Yola.
Mr Nguroje said the suspect engaged Rabiyatu in a fight when she demanded the refund of her N1,000.
“The suspect angrily reacted by hitting her head against the wall … she fell unconscious and was rushed to the hospital where she was later confirmed dead.
“The suspect was apprehended by the police following report received from a relative of the deceased and a good Samaritan,” Mr Nguroje said.
