However, unemployed Aliyu reportedly came out of his hideout on Sunday, August 21 o confess that he was pushed out of jealousy to beat his wife.

Speaking about the incident, a member of Adamawa chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Blessing Tunoh who was present at the station during Ibrahim’s confession told the Whistler that he apologized to the Police for disappearing for four days after the incident.

According to Tunoh, Ibrahim reportedly said, ” I saw my wife when she came out of a man’s car and I was jealous.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer of the State, Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, in a phone call said.

“The husband has been in police custody since two days ago and the Commissioner Of Police has directed that he should be transferred to state Criminal Investigation Department (CID), considering the nature of the offense and the situation on ground.

“So as I’m talking to you right now, the State CID has been directed to take over the case and we are equally directed to gather material evidence that has to do with the case. And as soon as that is on ground, the command is going to charge him to court for the law to take its cause.”
