According to his account to Daily Trust, he was summoned to the Karewa Division and subsequently to the Adamawa Police headquarters, where he was confronted with the news of his former wife’s tragic fate.

The ex-husband, still reeling from the incident, recounted Bilkisu’s last phone call, where she requested to speak to their son.

Overwhelmed by the circumstances and unable to view the body, he expressed profound grief over the loss.

He said the police have continued their investigation, promising to leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
