Man Hacks His Girlfriend To Death In Kaduna For Planning To Dump Him After Spending Money On Her

An individual who allegedly killed his girlfriend has been detained by the Kaduna State Police Command.

The culprit was saved because he was ready to be lynched by a crowd, according to DSP Muhammad Jalige, the command’s spokesperson, who confirmed the arrest in a statement on Friday, April 21, 2023.

Jalige said on April 14 that at about 21:30hrs, the Command received a distress call that there was a mob action at NEPA Roundabout in Kaduna metropolis where an unruly crowd were about to lynch a man.

Operatives were immediately mobilised to the scene.

“On getting there they met the suspect lying unconscious and surrounded by a crowd,” he said.

According to Jalige, information gathered revealed that the suspect attacked his girlfriend of Old Command Secondary and Nursery School, Sokoto Road, Kaduna with a machete and inflicted multiple degrees of injury on her face, arms and hands.

He explained that during the attack the man severed her left hand completely, alleging that he had spent a lot of resources on her and she wanted to dump him for another man.

The victim was rushed to Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, for treatment where a doctor on duty confirmed she was dead.

“The corpse of the lady has been deposited at the same hospital, for an autopsy,” Jalige said.

The PPRO said investigation was ongoing.
