Tragedy struck last Friday afternoon in an Abuja community after a young man, identified as Garba, allegedly stabbed his elder brother’s wife to death after accusing her of witchcraft.
The incident happened at Wuye-Wuye village in Paikon-Kore ward of Gwagwalada Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory.
A resident of the community, who spoke with our reporter on condition of anonymity, said the incident happened around 2:12 p.m. when the man trailed the deceased to the farm and allegedly attacked her with cutlass.
He said the man had accused the deceased of practicing witchcraft, which resulted in the death of one of his younger brother in a motor accident while travelling to the Eastern part of the country.
“It was after one of the man’s younger brothers died in a motor accident that he said he had a dream that it was his elder brother’s wife that was responsible for the accident. And the next day, he trailed the women to the farm and attacked her with cutlass, which resulted to her death,’’ he said.
According to him, the suspect amputated the two hands of the deceased before stabbing her on the head
, adding that a farmer, who saw them, ran to the village to inform the people, who went to remove her body to the community.
He said the man had also accused the deceased of creating misunderstanding and bringing bad luck to their family.

“What amazed most of the villagers was that he even came out openly to accuse his elder brother’s wife that he had a dream that she was a witch and she was responsible for the accident that led to the death of his younger brother,’’ the villager added.
Our reporter learnt that the alleged killing of the woman created tension between the families but that the Agora of Zuba, Alhaji Mohammed Bello, who immediately got wind of incident, summoned all village/district heads in his chiefdom to address the matter.
The remains of the deceased, City News gathered, was buried last Saturday, while the suspect had been handed over to the police at Gwagwalada Area Command office.
When ed, the Gwagwalada police area commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (A) Olufemi Abinwanja, confirmed the incident, saying the suspect has been arrested and taken to the state Criminal Investigation Department and that investigation on the matter is on-going.

So, on the basis of his infallible dream, he snuffed the life out of a fellow human being without further physical evidence in of such a heinous allegation undecided

An eye for an eye. ..... Dude deserves more than a slow and painful death..... He should be cooked alive and then slowly chopped into small pieces while alive angry

Why is it that any negative thing that ever happened to a man is being blamed on a womanundecided


Are they saying the man can't be a cause of what happens to himself

Only in naija do people never see accident deaths as natural result of peoples action or just chance happening. Every accident is linked to winch and winchzard and ogboni and illuminati or GEJ.

femi fani kayode2

Unbelievable! Femi Fani Kayode bares his mind on President Jonathan. He says the Jonathan Govt is the MOST CORRUPT and WORST GOVT Nigeria has ever seen! He went furher to say that a second term for Jonathan will lead to the break-up of Nigeria due to Jonathan’s desperation to hold on to power.

Even more unbelievable, Femi Fani Kayode made very serious allegations about Jonathan’s plans to rig the 2015 Elections.

All these sound stranger than fiction from a man who is now the mouth piece of the Jonathan Government. So you should watch his inerview in living colors and decide for yourself if he was serious or not about these allegations.

That's why it's good to be doing body check ups regularly. Don't believe ur ok just because u wake up everyday. That dream could have been a malaria or typhoid fever symptom. Even if the woman was truly a witch, who gave him the right to kill her?
Even the way he killed her (amputation) suggests he could be a Boko haram member and a Buhari/APC psycho
