A 23-year-old woman, Rahimat Salaum, has been arrested for allegedly killing her husband, Shehu, during a dispute in the Federal Capital Territory. According to PUNCH Online, Rahimat was apprehended by the Nigeria Police Force while attempting to flee with her husband’s possessions.

The FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Benneth C. Igweh, assured the public that justice will be pursued in this case and encouraged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police. The investigation is ongoing.

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
