The Adamawa State Police Command has apprehended a 20-year-old housewife, Caroline Barka, for stabbing her 38-year-old husband to death.

The state police public relations officer, Suleiman Nguroje, who said the Police Commissioner, Sikiru Akande, has directed clinical investigations into the incident for proper prosecution, added that the suspect engaged her husband in a brawl, for keeping late nights which eventually led to his death.

He explained that the suspect who is a resident of Angwan Tamiya, Madagali Local Government Area of the state, got into a brawl with her husband, following his return from one of his late night outings drunk.

The wife was said to have disagreed with her husband on the day of the incident for failing to perform his responsibilities on their one-year-old baby.

In the ensuing brawl, the suspect allegedly took their kitchen knife and used it to stab her husband, thereby resulting in his death.

The police revealed that the suspect currently in police custody at the Madagali Police Divisional headquarters stabbed her husband following a domestic dispute, thus resulting in his death.

The man was said to have become unconscious after bleeding profusely and was later pronounced dead at the hospital where he was rushed to for medical attention.

Sunday PUNCH gathered that the suspect had a child with the deceased after two years of marriage.

The police also noted that the suspect was apprehended following a report by the deceased’s relative at a police station in the Madagali LGA of the state.

Rivers police arrest General Overseer for alleged homosexuality

The Octopus (C4i) Strike Force Unit of the Nigeria Police has arrested a General Overseer of a new generation church in Eagle Island, Diobu, Port Harcourt over allegations of homosexuality.

The Guardian gathered that the General Overseer, nicknamed Elijah, was arrested after videos of him engaging in homosexual acts were leaked to the police by a male acquaintance named Patrick.

The acquaintance, who had been the target of the cleric’s advances, reportedly played along and captured nude videos of the pastor as evidence. The police, acting on credible intelligence, traced him to one of his relaxation spots in Port Harcourt, where he was arrested and taken into custody for investigation.

Sources close to the investigation revealed that he has allegedly confessed to numerous acts of homosexuality involving both male adults and minors within and outside Port Harcourt.

Police hunt for last suspect in LASU graduate killing

The Lagos State Police Command on Monday said it had intensified its search for Teniola Ajisomo, who is the remaining suspect linked to the murder of a 28-year-old graduate of Lagos State University, Adedamola Ogunbode.

The Lagos State Police Command on March 12, exhumed the body of the late Ogunbode from a shallow grave behind the LASU fence in its Ojo campus.

Newstrends reported that the deceased, a Political Science Education graduate, had been missing since January 16.

Among those arrested during police investigations were Sunday Whepetoji, a pastor, who allegedly received N70,000 from the victim’s account; and Sheriff Adebayo, a church member, accused of also receiving N300,000.

Also, Omolara Ajisomo, who allegedly helped her children, Teniola and Olaoluwa Ajisomo, escape to Cotonou, Benin Republic, after each received N300,000 from the victim’s account, was arrested too.

Meanwhile, Olaoluwa was arrested in the Alakuko area of the state before leading the police to the shallow grave.

Reacting to an inquiry by PUNCH Metro on Monday, the command’s spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said Teniola was still on the run.

He said, “The suspect is still at large and we are trying to get him and we will soon get him. The Shepherd and Sheriff are in Ikoyi correctional centre and Ajisomo who took us to the grave is still with us and is assisting with the investigation.”

Hundeyin also confirmed that Omolara who aided the escape of her children had been released.

“The mother of two of the suspects has been released. She was arrested because her children used her identity to register the SIM. It was the SIM registration that led us to her. But when we discovered that she was not the one using the phone and we arrested the person using the phone, so we let the mother go.”

Hundeyin who addressed newsmen in the course of the probe said the church where some people alleged that the missing boy was killed and buried had been sealed to prevent it from being burned.

“The church was sealed following intelligence reports that some people planned to burn it down out of vengeance, and we do not want that to happen.

“It is still a suspected crime scene, we still need to go over it, and we may need to revisit that scene multiple times for us to gather evidential value.

“The church has been sealed for now to prevent it from being burnt. And we assure the public that updates will be given about the investigation and the progress we have made as soon as we get new updates,” he said.
