According to him, the incident occurred in the Rafin Guza community in the Kaduna North local government area of the state.

Why did the woman send killers after her husband?

The suspect’s husband had lent the sum of N400,000 to his wife to do business, but when he demanded the money from her, she refused to refund him.

Rather than refund the money, she hired a gangster identified as Tola and his gang to eliminate her husband, so that he would stop disturbing her to repay the debt.

“The husband borrowed his wife N400,000 to do business. One day, he demanded the money from her but she refused to give him back,” the security expert noted.

Sahara Reporters reached out to the state police public relations officer, Mansir Hassan, but he promised to get back on the matter for further updates.
