A man in Adamawa State has been arrested for allegedly beating his wife to death.

The state Police Command said it arrested 41-year-old Usman Hammawa on Thursday, July 22, for beating his 36-year-old wife, Rabiyatu Usman, till she died.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Suleiman Nguroje, said in a statement on Friday morning, that “The suspect, Usman Hammawa, resident of Jada Ward in Ganye Local Government Area engaged his late wife in a fight following a little argument.”

The PPRO said the fight ensued between them when the deceased demanded the refund of N1,000 that the accused was owing her.

“Angered by her action, the suspect applied force on his late wife by hitting her head on the wall, as a result of which she fell down unconscious and was rushed to the hospital where she was confirmed dead,” the PPRO further explained.

He said the suspect was apprehended by the Police in Ganye Local Government Area following report received from a relative of the deceased and a good Samaritan.

He added that the suspect, who is a Civil Servant with Ganye Local Government Council, has five children with the deceased after 16 years of marriage.

He said the state Commissioner of Police, CP Aliyu Adamu, had deployed officers of Anti- Homicide Unit of the Police Command to take over investigation and ensure that the law took its due course.

This is why I recommend thinking with your brain and not emotions.
The man should be punished alright, that's too low of him to have killed his wife, even though we shouldn't rule out the fact that it was an accident.
I don't know if to blame African culture for the wrong teachings given to females to fully depend on men "their husband or father" but I'm certain in this modern time of 21st century, the smart ones learn skills or go to school, to avoid being a liability to their family
You should perish that mentality of yours,
Yes! Men are the head of the house but their wives are their partners not commodities.
I hope you understood my point.
