A tragic incident unfolded in Adamawa State as Ibrahim Abubakar, a 33-year-old butcher, was arrested for the brutal stabbing of his 25-year-old wife, Hajara Sa’adu, to death. The horrifying act occurred in the early hours of April 8 in their residence in Sabon Gari-Futy, Girei local government area.
According to the State Command Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the altercation ensued after Abubakar accused his wife of taking his phone. This accusation escalated into a fatal confrontation, with Abubakar repeatedly stabbing his wife in the back with a sharp knife, leaving her mortally wounded in a pool of blood.
The gravity of the situation was compounded by the fact that the couple had a child together, making the loss even more devastating. Following the report made by the deceased’s father, the police swiftly apprehended Abubakar. Subsequent investigations at the crime scene yielded material evidence incriminating him.
In a chilling twist, Abubakar voluntarily confessed to the crime, expressing profound regret for his actions. The Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, condemned the heinous act and assured the public that justice would be served diligently. This tragic incident serves as a sobering reminder of the grave consequences of domestic disputes escalating into violence.
