A former employee of the Adamawa State Universal Basic Education (UBEC), Aminu Mahdi, has been arrested by the police for allegedly beating his second wife, Hadiza to death.
This was revealed on Thursday by the Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, who said the former civil servant descended on the 46-year-old Hadiza and beat her to death after she refused to make love to him.
According to Nguroje, Mahdi returned home at 9pm last Sunday, August 27 and after eating, he changed his clothes and went to the deceased room to spend the night but she declined his love-making advances.
According to the police spokesman, Mahdi said she insisted he should not touch her and instead started hitting him with a stick, which he later snatched and beat her up repeatedly with.
The beating eventually became so severe that it culminated in his snuffing the life out of the wife he married in 2016.
Meanwhile, while narrating what transpired to the police, the 63-year-old suspect, who had confessed to the crime and regretted his action, said he did not kill his wife intentionally.
Mahdi said, “I didn’t expect that this kind of incident would happen to me. It was a mistake.”
