A lecturer in the Theatre Arts Department of the College of
Education Oju in Benue state, Godwin Abuul, has been allegedly murdered by his
wife, name withheld, in connivance with her siblings over alleged extra marital
affairs.
Saturday Vanguard gathered that Abuul who went missing about
two weeks ago in Gboko was killed by his murderers who also dumped his remains
in River Katsina/Ala. According to a family source who craved anonymity, the
deceased two weeks ago went missing in Gboko after returning from Oju where he
lectured at the state owned College of Education.
Narrating the story he said, “Goddy used to lecture at the
College of Education in Oju. He travels weekly from here in Gboko to Oju to
lecture after which he returns to Gboko to spend his weekend with his wife and
two children. “Unfortunately, two weeks ago he returned from Oju and said he
was traveling to Katsina/Ala on a private visit, that was the last we heard of
him. “His disappearance was reported to the Police who since then have been
combing the entire state in search of his whereabouts. “Luckily, just two days
ago, the cloth he wore the last day anybody saw him was found with a young man
who was immediately arrested by the Police in Gboko. “Upon interrogation the
young man confessed to the Police how the missing lecturer was allegedly killed
by his wife in connivance with her siblings.
“His confession
triggered the arrest of several persons including the wife of the deceased and
mother of his two children and all those mentioned in the saga, by the Police
in Gboko, though the matter has been transferred to the Command Headquarters in
Makurdi for further investigations.” Continuing, the source said, “already his
wife has confessed all she knew about the matter to the Police. We learned that
she alleged that her brothers beat her husband up because he was involved in
extra marital affairs, but not with the intention to kill him. “After killing
him, they allegedly dumped his body in River Katsina/Ala and also went ahead to
sell his Honda car to an innocent buyer for the sum of N650,000 and of that
sum, the wife of the murdered lecturer was given the sum of N400, 000 as her
share of the proceed.” “As I speak with you, the Police and local divers are
still combing River Katsina/Ala to locate the remains of the Goddy (the
deceased) but we very much doubt if his remains would be seen because the
fishes must have feasted on it.
” When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO,
Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu who confirmed the incident said he
was yet to get full details of the matter. Yamu said, “yes I know of the matter
but I’m yet to get the full details of the matter from the Divisional Police
Officer, DPO, because the suspects are yet to arrive Makurdi. At this moment I
cannot confirm that the wife of the deceased was behind his murder until the
details are made available to me.”
