SP Dungus Abdulkarim, the spokesman of the Police Command in the state, disclosed this in a statement in Damaturu on Saturday.

He said the disturbing incident allegedly occurred at about 1 a.m. on February 6, but was reported to the Potiskum Divisional Police Station at about 3 p.m. on the same day.

Abdulkarim said the suspect, who was at large, used a sharp knife to mutilate her husband’s organ and fled the scene of the crime.

“Following the report, police operatives promptly visited the scene and rushed the victim to the State Specialist Hospital, Potiskum, for urgent medical attention.

“He was subsequently referred to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Azare, where he is currently receiving treatment,” the spokesman said.

He said investigation was ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspect and unravel the circumstances surrounding the crime.

The spokesman said he would not divulge some sensitive details of the crime in order to protect the victim from trauma.

Abdulkarim said the state Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Ado, strongly condemned the crime and emphasised that marriage should be built on mutual respect, understanding, patience, and tolerance.

“Marriage must never be an avenue for violence, abuse, or humiliation,” the police spokesman quoted the commissioner as saying.

The spokesman of the Command, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, stated this in a statement on Saturday in Yobe.

He said intelligence received by the command indicated that foreign mercenaries were engaged to destroy lives and property during the protest.

Abdulkarim therefore called on individuals planning to participate in the protest to exercise caution.

“As Yobe State recovers from insurgency, the Commissioner of Police, CP Garba Ahmed, acknowledges citizens’ constitutional rights to peaceful assembly.

“While we alert citizens to sinister motives, even peaceful protests at this time may be ill-timed.

“Recent insurgency activities in Gujba LGA, including an improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosion, have raised concerns.

“We are unprepared to face additional security challenges,” he said, and warned that criminals trying to hide under the protest to destabilise the state would face the wrath of the law.

“By providing this information, we can deploy adequate personnel and resources; designate specific routes and areas, establish clear communication channels, and minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or criminal activity.

“We encourage protesters to cooperate with the Police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly.
