Police Inspector shoots colleague for sleeping with his wife

 

It is well known among Nigerians that members of the Nigeria Police Force that are privileged to carry arms are often trigger happy, and seem only a moment away from a rush of blood to the head.

Facts have emerged how a Nigerian Police Inspector, Ya’u Yakubu, shot his colleague, Basharu Alhassan, dead after he reportedly caught him sleeping with his wife.

Our Correspondent reports that the incident happened on Tuesday night in Warawa Local Government Area of Kano State, when Mr. Yakubu fired his gun at Mr. Alhassan during altercation between the duo over the matter.

The deceased was rushed to Wudil General Hospital by another Police officer, where he was confirmed dead and the corpse was deposited at Mortuary for autopsy report.

This was confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Command, Abdullahi Kiyawa, but dismissed the allegation of adultery, saying that the disagreement between the duo was as a result of transfer of place of work contrary to what eye witnesses said.

According to the Police spokesperson, Mr. Yakubu was enraged because late Alhassan laughed at him over a transfer out of Warawa Area to a remote location and during the mocking, he shot him and he eventually died.

Mr. Kiyawa added that the Commissioner of Police, Sama’ila Dikko, had ordered the transfer of the case to the Command Headquarters for further investigation and prosecution for culpable homicide.

The suspect risks dismissal from the Nigeria Police and will be prosecuted for murder, which attracts life imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court for the alleged offence.

Nigerian lady shot dead by her Italian husband over divorce issues

A sojourn that began four years ago in Italy for 31-year-old Nigerian; Amenze Rita, has ended abruptly as she was reportedly murdered by her Italian husband on Friday.

Amenze was shot dead on Friday morning in presence of her colleagues in the parking lot of Mf Mushroom, a company where she worked in Noventa Vicentina.

It was gathered that the suspect, Pierangelo Pellizzar (61 years Old) laid an ambush for his wife about 7.30am and shot her four times, killing her instantly.

After murdering Amenze, he reportedly escaped from the crime scene aboard a grey Cherokee Jeep which was later found abandoned at his brother’s house.

However, the Carabinieri (Italian Police) are said to be currently on hunt for the suspect, who is said to be armed and dangerous in nature.

Italian media reported that Amenze was killed because she filed a suit for divorce after she returned from Nigeria a week ago. It was however not clear if they had irreconcilable issues that could have prompted the divorce attempt, neither it could be confirmed if they were living separately before the dastard act.

The late Amenze was said to have migrated to Italy in 2017 through Libya and got married to the Italian man in 2018. It could not be ascertained if the couple had given birth to children before the incident.
