Man Arrested for chaining and torturing wives in katsina

A middle-aged man simply identified as Samaila, has been arrested by men of the Katsina state police command for chaining his wives, Fatima Salisu and Hadiza Musa, and subjecting them to inhumane treatments in his home in Yannadabaiyye village in the Rimi Local Government Area of the state, for over 10 months.

According to the police, Samaila's evil deeds came to light when Hadiza's mother paid them a surprise visit. Not meeting with her daughter, Hadiza's mother pleaded to take away a sewing machine she bought for her daughter who isn't using it. Samaila's refusal led to an argument which degenrated into a fight. Hadiza's mother went on to report the assault to the police at the Rimi Police headquarters. The officers immediately went to effect Samaila's arrest. It was during the arrest that Fatima and Hadiza were found in chains.

When interrogated, Fatima said she has been in chains for 10 months while Hadiza came in two weeks ago and was also placed under chains. The women told the police that their husband used electric wires to beat them, cut their nails, shave their pubic hair and used it to form a concoction which he forced them to drink. They told the police that their husband had sex with them whenever he liked in the full glare of the other wife. The women said they had no idea what their husband does for a living but knew he always returned with wads of N500 notes.

The spokesman for the command, SP Gambo Isah, confirmed Samaila’s arrest and said the matter is currently being investigated.

Premium Times reports that the insurgents planted explosives on each leg of the tower, which they detonated at about 6 a.m. In January, the terrorists struck power installations thrice at a location about 50km from Maiduguri to keep the city in the dark. The power, was however, restored on Wednesday, March 24, after nearly two months of blackout.

The city has now been thrown into another darkness following the Saturday morning attack.
