Suspected herdsmen have allegedly beheaded the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bare ward in the Numan Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Charles Chrisanthus.
He was reportedly killed in the presence of his wife, Dorcas, in his farm on August 29, 2018.
Dorcas narrated that she was holding her four-month old son and watched helplessly as the assailants hacked her husband to death.
“His attackers led by our Fulani neighbours repeatedly stabbed him on the back and on his stomach before beheading my husband in our farm and made away with his head,” she said.
Dorcas who on Tuesday lodge her complaint at the State Criminal Investigation Department is accusing the police of shielding the killers of her husband.
She said she could identify her husband’s killers, insisting that the police were shielding them from answering for their crime.
“The police under the guise of allowing the suspects to seek medical attention are shielding those that killed my husband. The only thing I want is justice,” she stated.
