A man identified as Abubakar Ijidai has allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend and killed her mother in Dille District of Askira/Uba Local Government Area, Borno State.
This was revealed in a post by security analyst, Zagazola Makama on X on Sunday.
According to the post, the attacker used a machete to assault 18-year-old Lami Azuba and her 38-year-old mother, Hauwa Azuba, around 3:00 p.m. on their farmland on Saturday.
Abubakar, who is from the same district, fled the scene immediately after the brutal attack, leaving the two women in a pool of blood.
“Police officers from the Lassa Police Outpost later visited the scene and took the victims to the General Hospital in Lassa. Sadly, Hauwa was confirmed dead on arrival, while her daughter was referred to the General Hospital in Mubi, Adamawa State, due to the seriousness of her injuries,” Makama wrote.
Hauwa’s body was released to her family for burial according to Christian tradition.
Makama also said the police are still working hard to find the suspect and make sure he faces justice.
