Ismaila said:
“The suspect, after he killed his wife, escaped to an unknown destination, but he was eventually arrested by the Nigerian Army and brought to a police division in Keffi for prosecution.
The deceased was killed in the barracks and was found in the pool of her own blood after she was allegedly killed by her husband who escaped to an unknown destination. He later re-appeared and was arrested and tried by the Nigerian Army provost.
He was subsequently dismissed and handed over to the Nigerian Police for prosecution and the state CIID in Lafia to investigate the matter.”
