Abubakar Musa, a 45-year-old man known as Daddy, has been sentenced to death by hanging by the Yobe State High Court in Damaturu. The verdict was handed down on Wednesday, two years after Musa allegedly killed his wife, Ammi Mamman. Musa was arrested on January 4, 2024, by the Yobe State Police Command following the incident at New Bra-Bra Housing Estate in Damaturu, where he was arraigned for culpable homicide.
Despite Musa's not-guilty plea, the court dismissed it, as it could not withstand the weight of the compelling evidence presented. The prosecution successfully demonstrated that all elements of culpable homicide were proven beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, Musa was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. He has the option to appeal, but if he does not, the sentence will be carried out.
