Wife Kills Husband Over Miniskirt
A quarrel between a man and his wife over a miniskirt that the wife was wearing has claimed the husband’s life.
Trouble started one night when the man, Patrick John, returned home from a drinking joint and met his pregnant wife in a miniskirt, a piece of clothing that he had previously warned her against wearing.
The couple are residents of Faram Faram village in Fufore Local Government Area.
It was gathered on Monday that during a scuffle on June 13, 2024, the man challenged his wife over the miniskirt, allegedly holding her by the neck, prompting the wife to struggle and cry out.
Neighbours, who heard the commotion rushed in and separated them, but the man allegedly left the scene only to return and descend again on the wife.
The wife, identified as Maryam, was said to have picked up a hoe with which she hit her husband on the forehead, resulting in the man being taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Maryam, who was arraigned in court over the matter, is pleading self-defence.
At the Chief Magistrate Court 2 in Yola, presided over by Magistrate Musa Alhaji Adamu, Maryam attributed her action to a spontaneous move to protect herself.
The judge ordered her remand after her guilty plea to the alleged offence of culpable homicide and adjourned the matter to July 10, 2024

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
