However after several warnings, the Niger man killed his unrepentant neighbor by inflicting cuts on him with a machete. Umar who told Punch that he doesn’t regret the act, said;
“I don’t regret killing him because Mohammadu decided to die like a chicken. In his next life, he will not make advances to married women. I am ready to bear the consequences. Let the law take its course. I am fulfilled that Mohammadu will never see my wife again, Allah will judge him.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammad Abubakar, said that the matter would be charged to court after investigation.
