A 21-year-old man, Umar Audu, has allegedly killed one Abubakar Mohammadu over suspicion that the deceased was making love advances to his wife.
The incident reportedly occurred last month at the Fulani Camp, Wawa village in New-Bussa, Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State.
The suspect, who lived with the deceased in the same address, was arrested yesterday by policemen attached to the New-Bussa Division.
It was learnt that the suspect’s wife, Hassan Audu, had reported to him that the deceased was disturbing her for an amorous relationship.
The suspect subsequently warned the deceased on several occasions to desist from the act but he reportedly ignored the warnings.
On the day of the incident, the suspect allegedly attacked the deceased with a machete and inflicted deep cuts on his head.
The suspect told journalists in an interview yesterday that he did not regret his action.
His words: “I don’t regret killing him because Mohammadu decided to die like a chicken. In his next life, he will not make advances to married women.
“I am ready to bear the consequences. Let the law take its course. I am fulfilled that Mohammadu will never see my wife again, Allah will judge him.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammad Abubakar, said that the matter was still being investigated.
