He said the deceased confronted his wife for leaving the house without his consent. According to Isah, when the wife returned home around 8pm, the deceased sent her out his house.

According to him, the deceased out of annoyance pounced on her and pushed her out of the house, and angered by the husband’s action, she grabbed a piece of wood and hit him on the head with it.

He said the man collapsed and started bleeding, adding that some neighbours rushed him to Abaji Comprehensive Health Centre where he was referred to University of Abuja Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada but died around mid night on Friday.

The deceased, who was a staff of the finance department of Abaji Area Council, was buried according to Islamic rites, with the chief Imam of JIBWIS Central mosque, Malam Mohammad Tauheed, leading the funeral prayers at the Muslim cemetery in the area.

The spokesman of the FCT police command, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, who confirmed the incident, said the police were still investigating the incident.

He said the police were also making efforts to ensure the woman who was still at large after committing the crime was arrested.
