Wife allegedly conspires with Children, kills husband to inherit his property
A woman in Adamawa State has been accused of killing her better half so she could acquire his property.
The woman, Hafsat, is said to have arranged the killing of her spouse, Saidu Mamman, as a team with two children of the family and a fourth individual who executed the arrangement.
Hafsat Saidu, supposedly helped by Fa’iza Saidu and Faisal Saidu, daughter and son of the deceased respectively purportedly plotted the homicide of the top of the family, Saidu Mamman.
Realities of the case show that the trio admitted to paying N120, 000 to an outsider, one Mathew Peter (also known as Goga) who supposedly killed Saidu so they could have his belongings to themselves.
While the trio are right now in confinement following the request for a Yola Chief Magistrate Court I, the whereabouts of the fourth suspect, Goga, is obscure.
It was gathered on Thursday that the 60-year-old Saidu Mamman was killed last month, April 4, at his home in Sangere, a local area in Girei Local Government Area, close to the state capital, Yola.
Police record with regards to this issue says Saidu was tracked down unconscious in the pool of his blood by 6:00am that fateful day and was hurried to the Specialist Hospital in Yola, where he was affirmed dead.
The Police officer prosecuting the case, Inspector Hamza Abdullahi, said the State Police Command received information by 6:30 am on the day of the incident and nabbed the defendants.
“The defendants were arrested and they confessed to have conspired among themselves and hired one Mathew Peter (now at large) at the sum of N120, 000, to kill the said Saidu,” the police prosecutor said.
At the Court, the defendants confessed to the charge of criminal connivance against them.
Consequently, the Police investigator applied for an adjournment of the case to enable the conclusion of the investigation and to send the case file to the director of public prosecution for legal guidance.
The Court, managed by Chief Magistrate Abdullahi Mohammed Digil, concluded the case to the following month, July 4, and requested the defendants to be remanded in jail.
