TRAGEDY struck in Niger State, as a 28-year-old man, Umar Mohammed,
jumped into a well, committing suicide at New Bussa, in Borgu Local
Government Area of the state, after attacking his girlfriend with
cutlass and left her in a pool of her own blood over suspicion that she
was dating another man.
The incident occurred last Thursday between 10.00 and 11.00 a.m,
when the deceased invited the girlfriend, Jemila Mohammed, for an
outing, as he brought out a cutlass hidden underneath his clothes and
dealt her a blow with several cuts on her body.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the incident occurred that the father
of the victim got winds of his daughter’s predicament, rushed to the
scene and met her unconscious, following loss of blood and several cuts
on her body.
It was further learnt that the father, Mallam Mohammed Usman,
reported the case of grievous hurt to the police at New Bussa and the
police rose to the occasion, as they went and rushed the girl to the
Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Bida, for treatment.
Further checks revealed that after a thorough search for the suspect,
his pairs of shoes and the cutlass used by him to attack Jemila were
found beside the well, while his dead body was also recovered from the
well.
An insider source at the state’s Department of Criminals
Investigation informed the Nigerian Tribune on Monday in Minna, that
on a closer look at the remains of the deceased, there was no sign of
violence on it.
The source, who spoke with the Nigerian Tribune on the condition of
anonymity, said “there was no sign of violence on the body of the late
Mohammed. He removed his shoes and the cutlass which he used in
committing the crime and placed them beside the well.”
It was further gathered that Jemila was in a critical condition and had been placed on admission at the FMC, Bida.
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State police command, Mr Ibrahim Abiodun Gambari, confirmed the incident.
