A suspect, Abdullahi Isa, has been arrested by the police on June 30th for dehumanising, locking up and starvating his wife for nearly two years in Maiduguri.
When contacted, the Women and Childrens’ rights activist, Comrade Lucy D. Yunana, explained that Bulama of Gwange (3) took her staff to the suspect’s resident where the woman had been locked away for nearly two years.
“The suspect by the name Isa Abdullahi of Gwange (3) in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council is the husband of the survivor (name withheld).
We were informed that it was the neighbours that fed her, she has not been given food but most of the time neighbours usually sneaked in and give her food.
