The Bauchi State Police Command has launched an investigation into the tragic death of a 24-year-old woman, who is believed to have been beaten to death by her 50-year-old husband during a domestic dispute over meal preparations for Ramadan.
According to a statement from the Command’s spokesperson, CSP Ahmed Wakili, the incident took place on the night of March 1, 2025, around 11:30 pm in the Fadamam Mada area, close to Government Girls College, Bauchi.
The suspect, Alhaji Nuru Isah, a businessman at the Bauchi Central Market, reportedly attacked his second wife, Wasila Abdullahi, after an argument over ingredients and fruits for their Ramadan fast-breaking meal. The argument escalated, and Isah allegedly struck Wasila with a cane, causing her to collapse and lose consciousness inside their home.
She was rushed to ATBU Teaching Hospital, where doctors confirmed her death.
“Police have arrested the suspect and recovered the cane used in the assault as evidence.
“The victim’s body has been deposited in the mortuary pending an autopsy.
“Bauchi State Commissioner of Police, CP Auwal Musa Muhammad, has assured the public that justice will be served.
“He also used the opportunity to emphasize the dangers of domestic violence, calling on the community to uphold respect, empathy, and understanding in family life,” the statement added.
The police have called on residents to report instances of domestic abuse, stressing that domestic violence is a serious crime with significant consequences.
