brother, Aliyu Umar, was sleeping
in the same room with his first wife,

drugged Umar before they went to

that there have been serious crises
between Halima and her husband since
he took in a second wife about three
years ago.

since their marriage about three years
ago,” he said.

from Tella about 105 kilometers
from the headquarters to the Federal
Medical Centre, Jalingo for medical
attention.

referred from FMC Jalingo to the

neighbouring Gombe state, which
may have better facilities to handle his
challenge.

promptly arrested by the police in Tella
village and transferred to the police
divisional headquarters in MutumBiyu in Gassol local government.
