The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has arrested a woman over the alleged murder of her husband in Pegi Area of Abuja.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the FCT, SP Josephine Adeh, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
She said that operatives from the command, attached to Pegi Police Division, arrested the suspect on Tuesday at about 6:00 p.m, following credible intelligence.
Adeh said the suspect was arrested while attempting to flee with the belongings of the paralysed husband who had been reportedly missing for about three days.
The police spokesperson said the suspect was arrested in a mini-truck by the police operatives.
