Police arrest two for killing 20-year-old pregnant woman in Kano
The Kano State Police Command said that a 20-year-old pregnant woman named Theresa Yakubu was found dead by the roadside in Anadariya Village, Bebeji LGA, Kano State.
“The team immediately rushed to the scene and moved the body to Tiga General Hospital where a Medical Doctor confirmed her dead,” said SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the Public Relations Officer of the Command, while parading the suspects to journalists in Kano.
“On 28/03/2023 at about 1630hrs, a report was received that a lady was seen laying on the ground motionless by the roadside at Anadariya Village, Bebeji Local Government Area, along Kano-Jos Road, Kano State.
“Preliminary investigation revealed the identity of the deceased as Theresa Yakubu, ‘f’, 20 years old with a two-month-old pregnancy, of Anadariya Village, Bebeji LGA,” SP Kiyawa continued.
“It also led to the arrest of her boyfriend, one Philibus Ibrahim, ‘m’, 20 years old of Unguwar Korau Quarters, Tudun Wada LGA and his friend, one Gabriel Bila, ‘m’, 25 years old, of the same address. On investigation, Philibus confessed that he impregnated the girlfriend two months ago, and all efforts to abort the pregnancy proved abortive.”
Philibus Ibrahim and Gabriel Bila, both residents of Tudun Wada LGA, were arrested by the police for the murder of Theresa. Philibus confessed to impregnating Theresa and, with the help of Gabriel, strangling her to death in a bush after failed attempts to abort the pregnancy.
“The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation, and the suspects will be charged to court upon completion of the investigation,” concluded SP Kiyawa.
