The Jigawa State Police Command has launched investigations into the brutal murder of a newlywed woman and a 14-year-old almajiri, whose headless body was found in Gwaram Local Government Area.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Shi’isu Adam, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Dutse.
According to the statement, the first incident involved a 22-year-old woman, Zainab Ibrahim, who was found unconscious in a pool of blood at her matrimonial home in Warware Quarters, Hadejia LGA.
“The Hadejia Divisional Police Officer led a team to the scene, where they discovered a deep cut on her throat,” Adam stated.
Zainab was rushed to General Hospital Hadejia, where she was pronounced dead. Authorities have begun investigations to track down those responsible.
In a separate incident, the police discovered the mutilated and headless body of a 14-year-old almajiri, Bashir Adamu, along the Jikas-Dabaja village road in Gwaram LGA.
Relatives identified the body, reporting that Bashir had been missing for two days.
