Suspected hoodlums around Didan Dembe in Borno State have allegedly murdered the daughter of Hon. Bukar Abacha, a member of the Borno State House of Assembly representing Ngala, Maiduguri, the state capital.
The yet-to-be-identified assailants reportedly committed the heinous act when the deceased’s husband left home to observe prayer in a nearby mosque.
In a tweet, Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency and security analyst in the Lake Chad basin, disclosed that the victim was strangulated. He revealed the incident occurred around the Gidan Dembe community at the state capital on Tuesday, October 17.
According to him, the husband later found his spouse’s lifeless body upon his return from the mosque with the deceased’s hands and legs tied behind her back while her two-year-old son was found weeping.
“The husband of the victim who took the corps to the police station said he found her lifeless body in his house with her hand and legs tied behind her back while her two years old child was crying”, he tweeted.
Confirming the incident to the WikkiTimes, Kamilu Mohammed, the Borno State Police Command spokesperson, told our correspondent that an investigation already commenced.
He could not establish whether or not it was the hoodlums who carried out the criminal act.
“We actually received a report on the killing, but whether it was hoodlums that committed the culpable homicide or not is yet to be ascertained, please,” he told the WikkiTimes.
“The police have already commenced a discreet investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the killing as well as arrest and bring the perpetrators to book,” Mohammed added.
