A former staff of Adamawa State Universal Basic Education Board, Aminu Mahdi, has been arrested by the Police for allegedly beating his wife to death.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspect, Aminu, who is 63 years old and hails from Yelwa Ward, Mubi North Local Government Area, Adamawa State, allegedly descended on his second wife, Hadiza Zubuchi, 46, for denying him access to her bed.
The suspect, who has confessed to the crime, told the Police that he did not intend to kill his wife, according to the Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje.
Nguroje disclosed that Aminu returned home at 9:00 pm last Sunday, the 27th August, 2023, to meet the circumstances that culminated in his snuffing life out of his wife.
Nguroje said after Aminu ate his food, changed his clothes, and 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, she instead started hitting him with a stick. He then snatched the stick from her and beat her up repeatedly. The beating became so severe that the wife, who he got married to in 2016, died eventually.
In regret while telling the Police his story, Aminu said, “I didn’t expect that this kind of incident would happen to me. It was a mistake”.
