A scavenger, 22, Hashimu Lawal is in police net in Abuja for
stabbing a housewife, jamila Adamu, at Unguwar Subiru in Dei-Dei, in Abuja. The
suspected reportedly went to the woman’s house on Wednesday and attempt to
steal her empty drum of water.
The woman went out to get water from a borehole and when she
returned home she saw the accused trying to take away the empty drum at the
backyard of the house, and that she rushed and held onto his clothes as he
attempted to escape.
“It was as she held onto his shirt and raised an alarm to attract attention of neighbours that the scavenger used a sharp object and stabbed her on the hand,” he said.
He said the suspect, who escaped after inflicting the injury on the woman, was arrested by some neighbours who beat him into a coma.
He said the suspect was later handed over to the police at Dei-Dei and the woman’s husband, who was not at home, was contacted on phone, Daily Trust reports.
