In a heart-wrenching incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, Mrs. Amma Buwa, daughter of Honourable Bukar Abacha, a member of the Borno State House of Assembly representing Ngala local government area, was discovered strangled to death in her Maiduguri home.
The tragic event unfolded at approximately 6:30 pm on Tuesday evening while Mrs. Buwa’s husband was away, attending prayers at a nearby mosque.
Upon his return, the distraught husband made the grim discovery within their residence, finding his wife’s lifeless body. Her hands and legs were bound behind her back, and her two-year-old child was crying beside her.
The husband promptly reported this horrifying incident to local authorities, leading to the Gwange Police Division transferring the body to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital for a post-mortem examination and further investigation.
The community is in shock, with residents gathering at the scene to offer their condolences and support during these trying times. A family source took to social media to announce that the funeral of the deceased, Mrs. Amma Buwa, will be held the following morning at the 777 Housing Estate in Maiduguri.
It’s worth noting that less than 24 hours before this tragic incident, the Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, had taken decisive action to address security concerns in the area.
He ordered the demolition of brothels, shanties, and makeshift bars at the Railway Terminus general area, asserting that these locations were breeding grounds for criminals responsible for killings in the metropolis.
