The suspect reportedly rushed the deceased to Bay Clinic along Bay Clinic Road, in Minna, and the woman’s death was confirmed by the doctors upon arrival before entering the hospital.
However, when the hospital suspected foul moves, it was gathered that the hospital quickly contacted the Police at Tudun-Wada Police Station, following claims by the NDLEA zonal commander that the lady came to his house to supply underwear to him and that she suddenly went into an asthmatic crisis while he rushed out to get an inhaler for her.
But, it was gathered that the husband, Mr. Williams, who was shocked and sad over the incident, claimed that his asthmatic wife did not use an inhaler but had some prescription drugs she used during the crisis to calm the situation.
Consequently, the suspect was said to have been arrested by the Tundun-Wada Police Command and later transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), for investigation.
A reliable source around the hospital said that, “the suspect brought the dead woman naked but went back home and returned with her pants, brassiere, and other clothing materials and wore them on her”.
When contacted, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, PRO, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the incident.
He said the matter was currently under investigation.
