Farida Abubakar, who allegedly murdered her former husband, Attahiru Ibrahim on Thursday has been arrested by the police in Kebbi state.

The suspect is currently cooling her feet in the Kebbi state SCID cell for allegedly killing her former husband who resides in Alieru housing estate Gwadangaji.

The spokesperson for the Kebbi state Police Command, SP Nafiu Abubakar, in a statement on Friday said, “On 25/8/2022 at about 2140hrs, Policemen attached to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Gwadangaji, received an information that, a suspected strange noise was heard from the house of a neighbor, one Attahiru Ibrahim ‘M’ of Alieru Quarters, Birnin Kebbi, and his gate was also locked,” the statement read.

“On receipt of the information, a team of Policemen were swiftly mobilized to the scene and forced themselves into the house where they found the said Attahiru Ibrahim lying down in pool of his own blood and was later confirmed dead by a medical Doctor.

“Similarly, his estranged wife, one Farida Abubakar ‘F’ aged 30yrs was also seen inside the compound. Hence, she was suspected and arrested in connection with the case.

“Consequently, the Commissioner of Police, Kebbi State Command, CP Ahmed Magaji Kontagora had directed the DPO to immediately transfer the case to SCID, Birnin Kebbi, for discreet investigation with a view to unravel the circumstances surrounding the ugly incident.”

A neighbour of late barrister Attahiru who does not want his name mentioned said that he and the deceased attended “ishai” prayers, after which he left for his house to continue cooking which he began before going to the mosque. Upon his return, he was told that a loud voice was heard from his neighbour’s house.

“I rushed to his house only to meet his gate locked from inside, I went back to my house used a ladder jumped over and met him in his blood, looking around I saw his ex-wife hiding in a cage with her daughter”.

He added, “he and Farida have divorced about seven months ago after having two kids, while late barrister Attahiru was about to marry another wife in two weeks’ time before the unfortunate incident.

He noted that late Attahiru was stabbed, but only the police investigation will unravel what really transpired, maybe she did or hired an assassin because people said they saw somebody running but is unconfirmed.

He has been buried amid tears according to Islamic rites in Birnin Kebbi.
