According to the police, the suspect, who had been married for about 40 days, allegedly mixed a poisonous substance into her husband’s food on August 12, 2026.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Nafiu Habib, said the incident was reported through a distress call at about 7:40 p.m. by an anonymous woman residing in the Wunti Dada area of Bauchi.
Following the report, operatives from the ‘C’ Division, Tafawa Balewa Estate, responded to the scene and rushed the victim to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment and is said to be in stable condition.
