The police in Niger state have arrested 50-year-old
Tanko Bamaiyi for allegedly killing his 30-year-old wife of 10 years, Auta,
because she refused to serve him food at their home in Maigoge village in
Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State.
The suspect had an argument with his wife over food and at the heat of the
argument, picked up a machete and hacked her to death. After the attack, he
threw the machete into a river.
“He confessed, I used my cutlass (machete) to killed her. My wife was
fond of not giving me food in time and whenever I complain, it will lead to insults.
She never gave me food each time I asked for it. She even asked my
10-year-old daughter to abuse me because I was asking for food and whenever I
want to correct the girl, she will taking advantage of me. I lost my
temper and I am sorry, extremely sorry for what happened. It is the act of the
devil and I pray my in-laws will find a place in their hearts to forgive me. I
regret all of my actions.” – he declared.
The Acting Public
Relations Officer (PPRO), of the state command, Mr Peter Sunday, said the
suspect will soon be charged to court
