Department of the College of Education Oju in
Benue state, has been allegedly murdered by his
wife.
The wife, name withheld, killer her husband in
connivance with her siblings over alleged extra
marital affairs.
According to Saturday Vanguard, Abuul who went
missing about two weeks ago in Gboko was killed
by his murderers who also dumped his remains in
River Katsina/Ala.
According to a family source who craved
anonymity, the deceased two weeks ago went
missing in Gboko after returning from Oju where he
lectured at the state owned College of Education.
Narrating the story he said, “Goddy used to lecture
at the College of Education in Oju. He travels
weekly from here in Gboko to Oju to lecture after
which he returns to Gboko to spend his weekend
with his wife and two children.
“Unfortunately, two weeks ago he returned from Oju
and said he was traveling to Katsina/Ala on a
private visit, that was the last we heard of him.
“His disappearance was reported to the Police who
since then have been combing the entire state in
search of his whereabouts.
“Luckily, just two days ago, the cloth he wore the
last day anybody saw him was found with a young
man who was immediately arrested by the Police in
Gboko.
“Upon interrogation the young man confessed to
the Police how the missing lecturer was allegedly
killed by his wife in connivance with her siblings.
“His confession triggered the arrest of several
persons including the wife of the deceased and
mother of his two children and all those mentioned
in the saga, by the Police in Gboko, though the
matter has been transferred to the Command
Headquarters in Makurdi for further investigations.”
Continuing, the source said, “already his wife has
confessed all she knew about the matter to the
Police. We learned that she alleged that her
brothers beat her husband up because he was
involved in extra marital affairs, but not with the
intention to kill him.
“After killing him, they allegedly dumped his body in
River Katsina/Ala and also went ahead to sell his
Honda car to an innocent buyer for the sum of
N650,000 and of that sum, the wife of the murdered
lecturer was given the sum of N400, 000 as her
share of the proceed.”
“As I speak with you, the Police and local divers
are still combing River Katsina/Ala to locate the
remains of the Goddy (the deceased) but we very
much doubt if his remains would be seen because
the fishes must have feasted on it.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations
Officer, PPRO, Assistant Superintendent, ASP,
Moses Yamu who confirmed the incident said he
was yet to get full details of the matter.
Yamu said, “yes I know of the matter but I’m yet to
get the full details of the matter from the Divisional
Police Officer, DPO, because the suspects are yet
to arrive Makurdi. At this moment I cannot confirm
that the wife of the deceased was behind his
murder until the details are made available to me.”
