Niger Man Dies in Dispute Over Girlfriend

Usman Mohammed, a 25-year-old man, was killed in Minna, Niger State during a violent dispute involving his girlfriend.

A tragic incident in Minna, Niger State, has resulted in the death of 25-year-old Usman Mohammed following a dispute over his girlfriend. Reports indicate that the violence erupted when Usman, who was visiting his girlfriend Halima Usman, was confronted by three men, identified as Barafi, Ayya, and one unnamed individual. Preceding the deadly encounter, the suspects allegedly attempted to entice Halima with a sum of N5,000, but she rejected their offer.

As the confrontation escalated, witnesses say the three men became increasingly aggressive, ultimately leading to a physical altercation involving Usman. In a shocking turn of events, one of the assailants produced a dagger and stabbed Usman in the back. Quick action saw him being rushed to the General Hospital in Minna for emergency treatment, but sadly, medical reports confirm he succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival.

In the aftermath, law enforcement officials from the Niger State Police Command responded to the crime scene to gather evidence. The deceased’s body was subsequently transferred to the morgue for an autopsy. Authorities confirmed that one suspect, Ahmed Mohammed, has been arrested in connection with the incident, while efforts are underway to locate the other two individuals involved.

“An investigation is currently ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident and bring all perpetrators to justice,” stated Wasiu Abiodun, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Niger State Police Command. Abiodun assured that updates would be provided, though he did not return a call for further commentary by the time this report was prepared.

The unfortunate death of Usman Mohammed underscores the dangers of violent disputes, particularly those involving personal relationships. As investigations continue, the Niger State Police remain committed to ensuring justice for Usman and his family by pursuing all responsible individuals involved in this tragic event.
