A lecturer
with the College of Education, Maru, Zamfara State, Mallam Yakubu Maradun, is
currently helping the State Police Command to unravel the circumstances
surrounding the murder of his wife, Malama Naja’atu Abubakar.
LIB reported
how the body of 25-year-old Malama was found on Friday, July 14 after she was
declared missing since Tuesday, July 11.
According to
Nigerian Tribune, the decomposed body of Naja’atu was discovered in her
matrimonial residence under a very unusual circumstance four days after she was
declared missing.
A source
told the news site that Naja’atu left home last week Monday on the permission
of her husband to go to a bank to obtain her Biometric Verification Number
(BVN) number, but did not return home, and this prompted her husband, friends
and relations to search for her.
The search
for the missing lady gradually became intensified for four days, until when
last Friday, a close relation visited the residence of the missing woman to
sympathise with her husband.
The source
also revealed that, upon entering the house, the visitor perceived a very
strong odour of something decomposing. The husband explained that the odour
could be the smell from a broken toilet.
The source
further narrated that the visitor insisted that the room from where the odour
was coming should be opened to verify what it was.
“It was
shocking that inside the room, the decomposing body of Naja’atu was found on
bare floor covered with rags, while flies were hovering all over her, just as
the husband became dumbfounded,” the source said.
The
spokesman of the state police command, DSP Shehu Muhammad, confirmed the
incident, saying investigation was still ongoing in order to unravel the case.
