Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command attached to Pegi Police Division have arrested one Rahimat Salaum in connection to the alleged killing of her husband.
The police said the 23-year-old female suspect was arrested after credible intelligence.

The police said the victim subsequently led operatives to an uncompleted building where she had dumped the gruesomely burnt body.
The statement further added that while the investigation has commenced, the FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Benneth Igweh, affirmed that justice will be served in the matter.
He urged residents to be conscious of their environment and report suspicious activities to security agencies.
