Operatives of the Borno State Police Command have arrested one Musa Dauda, a repentant Boko Haram member who allegedly killed and buried his ex-wife, Hafsat Musa, at a farm at Muhammed Goni stadium, Maiduguri.
The Command’s spokesman, Assistant Superintendent of Police Sani Kamilu, stated in Maiduguri on Friday.
Kamilu said Dauda invited 45-year-old Hafsat to meet with him on her farm in the stadium premises on September 12.
Hafsat was nowhere to be found after honouring the invitation, he stated.
“The case was not reported to the police until a few days later when the decomposing body of Hafsat was discovered on the farm by her relatives,” her added.
He stated that the police swung into action immediately, visited the scene and evacuated Hafsat’s corpse to Umaru Shehu Ultramodern Hospital, Maiduguri for autopsy.

The suspect would be arraigned at the conclusion of investigation, Kamilu assured.
