Man Arrested For Allegedly Beating Wife To Death Over Ramadan Meal

The Bauchi State Police Command has started investigating the tragic death of a 24-year-old woman, allegedly beaten by her 50-year-old husband during a dispute over Ramadan meal preparations.

According to the police spokesperson, CSP Ahmed Wakili, the incident happened on March 1, 2025, around 11:30 p.m. in the Fadamam Mada area, near Government Girls College, Bauchi.

The suspect, Alhaji Nuru Isah, a businessman at Bauchi Central Market, reportedly attacked his second wife, Wasila Abdullahi, after they argued over food ingredients and fruits for breaking their fast.

As the argument became heated, Isah allegedly hit Wasila with a cane, causing her to collapse and lose consciousness inside their home.

She was rushed to ATBU Teaching Hospital, but doctors later confirmed that she had died.

The police stated, “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, assured the public that justice will be done.

“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 urged residents to report cases of domestic abuse, stressing that violence in the home is a serious crime with legal consequences.
