Wife Kills Husband With Axe Over Goat
In a tragic incident, a 40-year-old woman named Lydia Aji has been taken into custody for allegedly murdering her husband with an axe in Borno State.
The Borno State Commissioner of Police, Yusufu Lawal, conveyed through the Police Public Relations Officer, Nahum Kenneth, that the altercation leading to the fatal attack stemmed from a dispute over their 13-year-old daughter Rachael’s alleged theft of a goat.
Reportedly, the attack was so severe that Lydia’s husband died instantly.
Detailing the incident, Lawal stated, “On July 4, 2024, Bulama Mulikabu from Kautikari village in the Chibok Local Government Area reported at the Chibok police station that on the same date, Lydia Aji and her husband Aji Makinta had a violent confrontation. During the fight, Lydia Aji struck her husband on the head with an axe, resulting in his immediate death.”
Lawal further explained that the conflict arose after Aji Makinta discovered that their daughter had stolen and sold a goat. This prompted him to demand that Lydia and their daughter leave his house.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing as authorities seek to uncover more details surrounding the tragic event.
