On January 19, 2024, SaharaReporters reported how on Friday, staff members of a hotel woke to find the decapitated body of a woman in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
The spokesperson for the police in the state, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said Garba had informed the police that late Bilkisu was his wife whom he had married about 6 years ago. But that he had divorced her in December, 2023.
"She was his wife at the point of death because Islamically, divorce becomes effective after three months.
"He informed us that she had called earlier on the ill-fated day to greet their only child (boy), but he told her that the child was at his grandmother's place," Nguroje told SaharaReporters.
Meanwhile, the police have disclosed the identity of the three suspects arrested in connection to the gruesome murder.
They are: Offa Jacob (Receptionist at the hotel); Yifarta Caleb (Receptionist) and Habibu Isah (Security Guard).
