The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested a man who allegedly murdered his girlfriend.
Spokesperson of the command, DSP Muhammad Jalige, who confirmed the arrest in a statement issued on Friday, April 21, 2023, said the suspect was rescued as he was about to be lynched by a mob.
Jalige said on April 14 that at about 21:30hrs, the Command received a distress call that there was a mob action at NEPA Roundabout in Kaduna metropolis where an unruly crowd was about to lynch a man.
Operatives were immediately mobilized to the scene.
“On getting there they met the suspect lying unconscious and surrounded by a crowd,” he said.
According to Jalige, information gathered revealed that the suspect attacked his girlfriend at Old Command Secondary and Nursery School, Sokoto Road, Kaduna with a machete and inflicted multiple degrees of injury on her face, arms, and hands.
He explained that during the attack the man severed her left hand completely, alleging that he had spent a lot of resources on her and she wanted to dump him for another man.
The victim was rushed to Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, for treatment where a doctor on duty confirmed she was dead.
“The corpse of the lady has been deposited at the same hospital, for an autopsy,” Jalige said.
The PPRO said an investigation was ongoing.
