Man stabs wife over argument for N60,000 “adashe” money
By: Sam Kayode
Another violent and jealous husband Samuel Matthew is now on the run after stabbing his wife over contribution money she picked from her friends last week and refused to part with it.
Matthew is said to be a regular visitor of the beer parlor close to their house at Angle D Jos South council area and is alleged to be combining his drinking sprees with hard drugs which further toxified their marriage.
Eye witnesses told our Correspondent that the relationship of the couple had long gone toxic because they have been having serious physical and verbal fights which had attracted the attention of neighbors on several occasions.
At a particular time, when the woman feared for her life, she had to pack to her parents’ house to avoid this very harm that had befallen her but the man played the sober card and the wife Mercy returned.
“We all thought he will sober up this time around and stop taking drugs but sadly see what we have on our hands. More trouble because we are yet to see the husband to ask what the remote reason for this murder was.
” We have been able to settle most of their fracas but this time around trouble started when the lady returned from where she sells food stuffs with N60,000 more than the normal amount that she makes for the day. Bring honest to her husband, she allowed him to see it
“So Matthew challenged her on how she made such cash almost ten times more than her capital and what she usually makes in a day. She replied that the cash was from her “adashe” meaning daily, weekly contribution to a general pool of saved money for the benefit traders which is paid to a member of the group on weekly or monthly bases.
“So it was her turn to pick the cash that day and she landed with the money happily at home but knowing that her husband was a drunkard and a drug addicted person made a mistake by allowing him to see the cash thinking it was ok by that.
“Immediately he sighted the cash, he demanded for it but she refused to surrender the money. He did everything to make her succumb she said no. So he waited for her to sleep that fateful day and returned from his drinking and smoking spree. Picked up a sharp knife and pierced her tummy in a probing way to bring out her intestines
“The stabbing was so gory that he knew she will not survive after that. This is because he opened up her intestines, brought them out and started butchering them one by one to make sure she loses so much blood and dies in the process.
“It was after the merciless butchering of her stomach that madam Mercy started shouting and crying that the neighborhood should come and help her that she doesn’t want to die that way. That was past midnight towards 1am.

“In the process, we neighbors rushed in and found her in a pool of her own blood and asked her to hold on to her intestines so they don’t fall to the ground while we rushed her the hospital” said our source who prefers anonymity.
NEWSng learnt that on seeing the state of her intestines, outside her tommy, two hospitals wrongly rejected taking the vulnerable woman inside the theatre including the Plateau State owned hospital that early morning without no special reason.
Luckily for her the Bingham Hospital off Polo area of the town took her in and by the time they could conclude the operation of sowing back her intestines, she passed painfully
“The rejection of patient Mercy Samuel was one of the unfortunate reasons why she lost so much blood leading to her death. Sadly we do not know why the relations of the lady did not report the matter to the police in time. Why did they wait until after about 48 hours before reporting such a brutal matter” said a resident security personnel.
When contacted, Police Public Relations officer Gabriel Uba confirmed the incident adding that the Police command was on top of the matter and would surely get the husband.
He regretted that it was sad that a matter which occurred last week Monday was not reported until about two days after.

Gunmen have abducted a young man during an attack on a private residence at Leisure Court Phase 1 Estate, located under Aco Division in Abuja.
Zagazola Makama gathered that the incident occurred in the early hours of Monday at about 12:01 a.m., when the attackers gained access into the residence of Mr. Olusoji Litan on Mike Ekere Street.
Sources said the gunmen kidnapped Mr. Litan’s son, Oladeji Emmanuel, who had just arrived Abuja to visit his parents on Friday, Nov. 9.
During the attack, Emmanuel’s fiancée, identified as Amanda, sustained gunshot injuries on both thighs.

Over 50 fighters reportedly killed as Boko Haram factions clash with ISWAP in Abadam
By: Zagazola Makama
A deadly clash between the factions of Boko Haram the Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunna lid-Da‘wa wa’l-Jihād (JAS) and the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) has resulted in the reported death of more than 50 fighters at Toumbun Gini, an island community in Abadam Local Government Area of Borno State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the clash occurred on Sunday afternoon around 3 pm, following an attempted offensive by ISWAP fighters.
According to the source, ISWAP mobilised fighters using 10 high-powered watercraft and launched an attack aimed at reclaiming the island, believed to have recently fallen under the control of the rival JAS faction.
However, intelligence reportedly reached JAS leadership ahead of the assault, enabling them to set up a counter-ambush.
At exactly 1500 hours, ISWAP boats landed and what was planned as a surprise offensive quickly turned into a deadly trap. The first shots were decisive. JAS fighters overpowered them within minutes. ISWAP was routed,” the source said.
The source said over 50 ISWAP fighters were killed during the ambush, with seven of their boats seized. The remaining three vessels escaped with casualties. Video clips appearing to show the aftermath of the clash surfaced online on Sunday.
Zagazola described the clash as Day 5 of intensified rivalry between the two insurgent factions, which have been fighting over territorial dominance and control of resources in the Lake Chad islands.
The continued push by JAS against ISWAP could force surviving ISWAP fighters deeper into mainland communities bordering Kukawa, Monguno and Marte LGAs, increasing security risks for civilians and security personnel.
The rivalry has however, weakened both factions, reducing their ability to launch coordinated large-scale attacks. However, this fragmentation also poses a different challenge: smaller, unpredictable cells that are harder to track.
What is happening on Lake Chad today is a conflict within a conflict and Nigerian troops remain in the middle of the battlefield. The fighting could be leveraged strategically by intensifying pressure on both groups simultaneously.
“This is the best time for the Nigerian military to tighten the corridor and deny both factions space to regroup,”said Zagazola.
