A woman named Rahimat Salaum has allegedly killed her husband in Pegi, Federal Capital Territory (FCT). 

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident in a statement on Tuesday.

Salaum was arrested by operatives from the Pegi Police Division on Monday, July 29, 2024, while attempting to flee with her husband’s belongings.

During interrogation, Salaum confessed to killing her husband following a disagreement.
