Tragedy struck in Adamawa State as a suspected case of infidelity spiraled into bloodshed, leaving one man dead and another on the run.
The Adamawa State Police Command has launched a full-scale manhunt for one Hamman Shomo, who allegedly butchered a fellow villager, Hammadu Shagari, during a violent altercation in Wuro Bakumbo, Demsa Local Government Area.
According to eyewitness accounts, the confrontation erupted on Sunday after Shomo accused Shagari of having an illicit affair with his 20-year-old wife, Rabi Alim. The heated quarrel quickly escalated, with Shomo reportedly drawing a knife and launching a brutal attack on Shagari.
Shagari initially fled into the bush in a desperate attempt to save his life. However, his escape ended tragically, as villagers discovered his lifeless body the following day, sprawled in a pool of blood with gruesome deep cuts across his back.
Police operatives, upon receiving the report, visited the crime scene, documented evidence, and evacuated the corpse to the General Hospital, Numan, for an autopsy.
Confirming the incident, security sources revealed that the suspect fled immediately after the attack, and detectives from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) have been drafted to track him down and unravel the full circumstances surrounding the chilling murder.
The shocking incident has thrown Wuro Bakumbo village into mourning, with residents reeling from the horror of a domestic dispute that spiraled into fatal violence.
Police authorities have urged the public to remain calm while assuring that no stone will be left unturned in bringing the suspect to justice.
