FCT Police Arrests Wife For Gruesome Murder Of Husband In Abuja

The operatives of the FCT police command attached to Pegi police Division, on July 29, 2024, at about 6:00 p.m., acting on credible intelligence, arrested one Rahimat Salaum 'F' of Pegi, Abuja in connection to the killing of her husband.

The suspect was attempting to flee with the belongings of the partially paralysed husband and had been reportedly missing for about three days in a mini truck when police operatives swooped in and apprehended her.

Upon interrogation, the suspect admitted to killing her husband after a fight ensued between them. She subsequently led the police operatives to an uncompleted building where she had dumped the gruesomely burned body.

While investigation is still ongoing, the commissioner of police, FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, psc, mni, wishes to affirm that justice will be served in the matter, as he urged residents to be wary of their environment and report suspicious activities through the police emergency lines:
