Tragedy struck in Maigoje village, Mai Idanu Ward, Gashaka Local Government Area of Taraba State after a 24-year-old housewife, Maimuna, allegedly chopped off her husband’s manhood.
The victim, 30-year-old Haruna Ishaka, died hours after the attack.
The incident happened at about 11:15 p.m. on Monday during an alleged domestic dispute at the couple’s residence.
Sources told our reporter that the deceased, a Fulani man, was attacked following disagreements over his alleged interactions with young girls outside his marriage.
It was gathered that Maimuna had repeatedly warned her husband to desist from the act, but he failed to heed her warning.
Haruna was said to have died in the early hours of Tuesday and has been buried according to Islamic rites, while his wife fled the village.
Confirming the incident on Friday, the spokesperson for the Taraba State Police Command, Victor Mshelizah, said the Divisional Police Officer was on his way to the scene.
“I am aware of the report. The DPO is heading to the location as we speak,” Mshelizah said.
