Suspected herdsmen beheaded
a chairman of the Peoples Democratic party in Adamawa state, as they escaped
with his head.
The police in the state are
currently investigating the death of the chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party in Bare ward in the Numan Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Charles
Chrisanthus.
Charles Chrisanthus was
allegedly attacked by suspected herdsmen who killed him in front of his wife,
Dorcas, beheaded him and then took off with his head.
The distraught wife who
went to the State Criminal Investigation Department to lodge her complaint on
Tuesday, narrated to Punch Nigeria how her husband was killed in her presence.
“His attackers led by our
Fulani neighbours repeatedly stabbed him on the back and on his stomach before
beheading my husband in our farm and made away with his head,” she said.
Dorcas accused the state
Criminal Investigation Department of shielding some of her husband’s killers
whom they have arrested but allowed to go seek medical attention at an
undisclosed hospital.
“The police under the guise
of allowing the suspects to seek medical attention are shielding those that
killed my husband. The only thing I want is justice,” she stated.
Confirming the attack, the
Police Public Relations officer in the state, Musa Habibu, insisted that some
of the alleged perpetrators of the crime were in custody, adding that
investigation into the incident was ongoing.
