A man who suspected that another man was having an affair with his wife, has landed himself in serious trouble after he allegedly committed murder over jealousy.


A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Minna, Niger State, on Thursday, remanded a 30-year-old cattle rearer, Kabiru Hassan, accused of allegedly killing a man on suspicion that he was having an affair with his wife, pending legal advice from the Office of the Niger State Director of Public Prosecutions.
The police charged Hassan with culpable homicide.
Magistrate Nasiru Muazu, declined to take the plea of Hassan, on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.
Muazu directed the police to forward a duplicate copy of the case file to the DPP for legal advice.
He thereafter adjourned the matter until January 30, 2019 for further mention.
