A 40-year-old man, Nuhu Usman, of Dangarga village in Burra District of Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State has allegedly shot and killed one of his two wives with a dane gun

The suspect was said to have loaded his local gun and kept it by his side while asleep, thinking that his eldest son who held grudges against him would come to his room to harm him.

Usman was sleeping when his wife went out to urinate, and upon her return to the room, he thought it was his son that had come into the room to attack him, so he took his gun and shot at her on her stomach.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Bauchi State Command, Ahmed Wakil, who stated these in a media statement made available to journalists on Friday, said that the victim was rushed to the hospital where she was certified dead by a medical doctor.

“Operatives attached to the command have arrested Nuhu Umar Usman, male (40) of Dangarfa Village via kyata Burra District Bauchi state. Related News

That there was an altercation between the wives, to the extent that the eldest son held grudges against the father and threatened to harm him.
