Yobe court sentences man to death by hanging for killing wife
A 45-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 verdict on Wednesday, about two years after the crime was committed.
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 homicide.
In a judgement, the court dismissed the not-guilty plea entered by the defendant, holding that it could not stand in the face of credible evidence presented before the court.
The court ruled that the prosecution successfully proved all elements of culpable homicide beyond reasonable doubt.
Consequently, the defendant was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging.
The judgement provides that the convict may file an appeal within the legally allowed timeframe, otherwise the sentence will be executed.
