A 30-year man, Alasan Audu, has landed in serious trouble after he reportedly raped his ‘newly married’ 17-year old wife, Hansa`u, to death for denying him sex 20 days after their wedding.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the spokesman
of the Command, SP Abdu Jinjiri, while confirming the incident in Dutse on
Thursday said the incident happened on the 21st April, 2020, at about 0800hrs
at Kankarelu village in Ringim Local Government Area, Jigiwa State.
The teenage wife had another person she had in mind but her parents betrothed
her to Audu she never wanted to get married to.
However, she was forced to get married to Audu and when he wanted to have sex with her, she refused and Audu forcefully raped her to death.
Audu has justified his reason for
killing his wife, Ha nsau Audu, saying he married her 20 days ago and demanded
sex but she refused and he raped her to death.
The Jigawa State Police Command has picked up Audu for allegedly killing his
wife days after their marriage and may likely face charge for murder which attracts
life imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court over the
alleged offence.
The Police PRO of the Command, SP Jinjiri, explained that one Hansa’u
Audu, 17-year old, a wife to one Alasan Audu, 30, of the same address was found
dead in her matrimonial home 20 days after their wedding.
Jinjiri said the Police removed the
corpse and took to the hospital where it was confirmed dead by a medical doctor
and deposited for autopsy report.
He said investigation revealed that the suspect, Alasan Audu, was not the one
the deceased prepared to get married to but was forced to get married him.
Jinjiri said after interrogation, the suspect confessed committing the crime.
“At about 0400hrs, I went to her (the deceased) as a husband, but she turned my
request down. I then used force on her to satisfy my sexual desire.”
Police spokesman said the case was still under investigation and will be taken
to Court for prosecution.
