The Borno State Police Command has arrested a repentant Boko Haram member, Musa Dauda, who allegedly killed and buried his ex-wife, Hafsat Musa, at a Muhammed Goni stadium, Maiduguri.
The Command’s spokesperson, ASP Sani Kamilu, stated in Maiduguri on Friday, that Dauda had invited his 45-year-old Hafsat to meet him on her farm in the stadium premises, on September 12, but that Hafsat was nowhere to be found thereafter.
“The case was not reported to the police until a few days later when the decomposing body of Hafsat was discovered on the farm by her relatives,’’ Kamilu added.
He stated that the police swung into action immediately; visited the scene and evacuated Hafsat’s corpse to Umaru Shehu Ultramodern Hospital, Maiduguri for autopsy.
Kamilu further stated that Dauda, who later confessed killing his wife, was arrested on Thursday, September 21.
Kamikubsaid, according to Dauda, he saw Hafsat with another person on the farm and he clubbed her with a hoe on the head, and she slumped and died.
Dauda later buried Hafsat on the farm and fled, Kamilu stated.
The suspect would be arraigned at the conclusion of investigation, Kamilu assured.
