The incident happened at the Mammy market of the 33 Artillery Brigade Barracks, Bauchi, throwing the people of the area into mourning. Daily Sun correspondent learnt that the couple had been having marital problems culminating in the alleged murder of the husband by the wife. Neighbours claimed that the deceased was in the habit of beating his wife as a result of his affairs with Sarah, who runs a beer parlour in the Mammy Market, which led to domestic squabbles.
“The wife had tolerated him for almost five years that they were married, he used to beat her and said to her ‘I will kill you useless woman’ severally, she had many cuts on her body as a result of the beatings but she wouldn’t leave.” “She would have left him for good but stayed because of her two children now see how she has ended,” a neighbour said. Our correspondent gathered that the soldier’s wife stormed Sarah’s beer parlour having been tipped that her husband was having an affairs with his mistress.
“I actually don’t know if she went there with a knife. But when she confronted him, the next thing we knew was that she stabbed him.” Daily Sun also gathered that the estranged housewife first stabbed her husband’s mistress before her husband intervened.“She stabbed him on the stomach, he collapsed but died at the hospital,” a neighbour who pleaded anonymity said.
According to eyewitnesses, on realising what she did, the soldier’s wife raised an alarm and her husband was rushed to the hospital but it was too late as he died on the way. The Police Public Relations Officer of the Bauchi State Police Command, Mohammad Barau confirmed the incident.
Barau, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), said the case has been transferred to the
Criminal Investigation Department of the command.
