The Kaduna State Police Command has apprehended a man accused of murdering his girlfriend. The girlfriend was said to have jilted him while the relationship was going on.
DSP Muhammad Jalige, spokesperson for the Kaduna State Police Command, stated on Friday, “On April 14, 2023 at about 2130hrs, a distress call was received that there was a mob action at NEPA Round About and that the unruly crowd was about to lynch a suspect who allegedly murdered his girlfriend, jeopardising investigations.” Operatives were dispatched to the scene, where they discovered the suspect unconscious and surrounded by a crowd.
“According to information gathered, the suspect whose name was given as Kenneth, with his surname not yet known, attacked his girlfriend, named Ebenezer Agada “F” aged 27years old of Command Secondary and Nursery school, Sokoto Road, with a machete and inflicted multiple injuries on her face, arms and hands.
“In the process of the attack, he severed her left hand completely, alleging that he had spent a lot on her and she wanted to dump him for another man. The victim was rushed to Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital for treatment where a medical doctor on duty confirmed her dead. The corpse has been deposited at the same hospital for an autopsy. Investigation is currently ongoing,” Jalige said.
