A forty five-year-old man, Abubakar Musa, alias Daddy, has been condemned to death by hanging by Yobe State High Court 1 in Damaturu for the killing of his wife, Ammi Mamman.
The High Court delivered the decision on Wednesday, about two years after the crime was dedicated.
Musa was apprehended on January 4, 2024, by operatives of the Yobe State Police Command over the killing of his wife at New Bra-Bra Housing Estate, Damaturu, and was arraigned for culpable murder.
In a judgement, the court dismissed the not-guilty plea entered by the defendant, holding that it couldn’t stand within the face of credible proof offered earlier than the court.
The court dominated that the prosecution efficiently proved all parts of culpable murder past affordable doubt.
Consequently, the defendant was discovered responsible and sentenced to death by hanging.
The judgement gives that the convict might file an enchantment throughout the legally allowed timeframe, in any other case the sentence will probably be executed.
