Hajaratu Sini, a 58-year-old housewife in Adamawa State, was apprehended by members of the state police command for reportedly using a stick to kill her husband’s mistress after she discovered them in the act.
According to the suspect, who is a native of Wumbirmi Tilli in the Michika Local Government Area, her husband’s lover, Kwada Drambi, was killed on July 31.
Hajaratu, mother of 2 who got married to her husband over 40 years ago, was among the 38 suspects paraded by the Adamawa state police command in Yola, on Tuesday.
Hajaratu’s husband and the deceased who is a widow have been secretly seeing each other. However, on July 31, Hajaratu caught them in an uncompromising position at about 9pm when she stormed the widow’s house.
Sini, who ran out of the room for safety was pursued by his angry wife and they continued their fight outside. However, in the heat of the rage, the deceased followed them outside and engaged the suspect in a fight in an attempt to defend her newfound man.
