Adamawa State Police Command arrested Caroline Barka (20 years old) for stabbing her husband, 38 years old, to death.

Suleiman Nguroje (state police public relations officer) stated that Sikiru Akande was the Police Commissioner and has overseen clinical investigations into the incident. He also said that the suspect had engaged her husband in a brawl for staying up late, which ultimately led to his death.

He said that the suspect, a Madagali Local Government Area resident, had gotten into a fight with her husband after he returned from one of his late-night outings.

According to reports, the wife disagreed with her husband because he failed to fulfill his obligations regarding their baby of one year.

In the ensuing brawl, the suspect allegedly took their kitchen knife and used it to stab her husband, thereby resulting in his death.

She told authorities during investigations that she was angered by his drunkenness, habitual late nights, and failure to provide basic necessities expected of a husband.

The police revealed that the suspect currently in police custody at the Madagali Police Divisional headquarters stabbed her husband following a domestic dispute, thus resulting in his death.

The man was said to have become unconscious after bleeding profusely and was later pronounced dead at the hospital where he was rushed for medical attention.

Sunday PUNCH gathered that the suspect had a child with the deceased after two years of marriage.

The police also noted that the suspect was apprehended following a report by the deceased’s relative at a police station in the Madagali LGA of the state.

The Commissioner of Police, Sikiru Akande, while commending the locals and police for exposing the incident and making it impossible for the criminal to escape justice, directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police Investigation to take over the case and ensure adequate prosecution of the suspect.
