The Niger State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old woman, Safiya Tukur, for allegedly inflicting a deep cut on her husband’s manhood with a sharp object during a domestic dispute in Minna.

The incident occurred on October 15 at Darul Salam, Kpakungu, after a disagreement between the couple escalated into a fight, according to the police.

The Command’s Spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, disclosed this in a statement in Minna, explaining that the Kpakungu Police Division received a report of the incident at about 10:09 a.m.

He said the injured man was immediately taken to the General Hospital, Minna, for medical attention, while his wife was arrested.

According to the statement, Tukur confessed during interrogation to have inflicted the injury on her husband during the altercation.

The police spokesperson added that the suspect had been charged to court and remanded in custody as the trial continued.

In a separate incident, police have arrested a 57-year-old man, Yusuf Sani, over two cows suspected to have been stolen and found at his residence in Tungan-Noma, Mokwa Local Council of Niger State.

According to him, the Mokwa Police Division reportedly received intelligence about the animals on October 16 at about 9:00 p.m., prompting a surveillance team to visit the residence and recover the cows.

Abiodun said Sani told investigators that he received the animals from one Abdullahi Dandamega, a resident of Tungan-Noma village, who is currently at large, for safekeeping.

The police said the owner of the suspected stolen cattle had been identified and contacted, while efforts were ongoing to arrest Dandamega and other alleged accomplices.

The Command added that the case would be charged to court for prosecution after the investigation was concluded.
