A student of the College of Health Technology Mubi, Adamawa state, Komi Yusuf, has been arrested for the alleged murder of his cousin in the Prambe community of Adamawa state.
Komi was said to have killed the deceased identified as Boniface, with a machete on January 4th, 2023, after accusing him of being a witch and causing the death of his 5-month-old child. He also accused Boniface and another of his cousins, Nasamu, of bewitching his daughter about 2 years ago.
It was gathered that shortly after the death of Komi's infant, he armed himself with a machete and went searching for Boniface who was playing cards with his friends in the neighborhood. He then inflicted a deep cut in the middle of Boniface's head which led to his death.
Upon his arrest, Komi confessed to the crime saying Boniface and Nasamu had confessed to him about two years ago of bewitching his daughter, and he warned them to stay clear of his family but they refused.
