Man machetes Niger wedding guest to death

The Niger State Police have arrested Jamilu Saidu, a resident of Kumbashi District in Mariga Local Government Area, for allegedly causing the death of 30-year-old Iliyasu Aminu at a wedding event.

The spokesperson for the command, Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the incident to Sunday PUNCH in a phone conversation.

Abiodun, in a statement sent to our correspondent, said the incident occurred when a fight broke out between two villages—Yabawa and Ungwar Sarkin-Daji—in Kumbashi District during the wedding.

He said while the exchange was on, the suspect, Jamilu, struck Aminu on the head with a machete, leading to his death.

The spokesperson added that Jamilu was among several suspects arrested for various offences across the state in recent days.

The statement read, “On January 18th, 2025 at about 8pm, Police operatives of Bangi Div arrested one Jamilu Saidu of Kumbashi District, Mariga LGA for culpable homicide of Iliyasu Aminu 30yrs of the same area.

“It was reported that a fight ensued between two villages which involved Yabawa village and Ungwar Sarkin-Daji of Kumbashi District due to a sour marriage ceremony, and in the process, the suspect Jamilu matcheted the deceased Iliyasu Aminu on the head to death.

“The suspect confessed to the crime and he has been transferred to SCID Minna for further investigation and diligent prosecution.”
