A tragic incident occurred in Mubi South Local Government Area of Adamawa State, resulting in the death of a barman, Yohanna Musa, at the hands of a sex worker, Riyanatu Musa. The dispute began over a N200 balance Riyanatu owed Yohanna for a bottle of dry gin and another drink she purchased. According to police reports, Riyanatu had paid N1,500 and promised to settle the remaining N200 the following day. However, when Yohanna demanded the balance, a heated argument ensued, culminating in a fatal altercation. Riyanatu confessed to stabbing Yohanna in the chest during the fight, stating, “He kept insisting on his money. In the heat of the moment, I stabbed him in the chest. I deeply regret my actions”. Riyanatu denied being intoxicated at the time of the incident, claiming she hadn’t consumed any alcohol that day. The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested Riyanatu, and the state’s Commissioner of Police, Morris Dankombo, has ordered a thorough investigation. The Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, urged members of the public to avoid taking the law into their own hands, emphasizing the importance of resolving disputes peacefully. The incident has left the community in confusion and trauma, highlighting the need for calm and respectful resolution of conflicts.
