A male student of the Federal Polytechnic Mubi, Adamawa State, who allegedly killed his pregnant girlfriend and buried her corpse in a shallow grave has been arraigned in court by the police.
Mumuni Abubakar, and two other suspected accomplices — Huzaifa Shuaibu and Rabiu Adamu — connived and murdered Franca Elisha, a Diploma II student of the Department of Library Science in the same institution, and buried her in a shallow grave after a failed abortion attempt.
The Adamawa State Police Command disclosed that complaints by Franca’s parent about her whereabouts put paid to investigations that uncovered circumstances surrounding her disappearance, allegedly through the hands of her boyfriend.
DSP Nguroje, Police Public Relations Officer, said that investigation so far revealed that Mumuni Abubakar was responsible for impregnanting the deceased.
Nguroje said the suspect had employed the services of Huzaifa Shuaibu, alleged abortionist who reportedly administered lethal dose of an abortion injection that ultimately resulted in Franca’s death; while Rabiu Adamu, an alleged accomplice, reportedly assisted in burying her corpse.
According to a police FIR, “Mumuni took the deceased into his room located at students’ community behind the state university Mubi, for the clandestine abortion on the 6th August, 2021.
“To successfully carry out the planned abortion, the accused invited his friend and student of the College of Health and Technology, Mubi, Huzaifa Shuaibu, who administered the lethal dose of drugs and injection to induce the removal of the foetus, in Franca’s womb.”
The injection allegedly caused Franca some form of delirium, which caused her to faint immediately.
“According to confessional statement made by Mumuni, Franca regained consciousness. But in order to perfect the termination of the pregnancy, Huzaifa allegedly administered another round of the injection.She fainted the second time and never regained consciousness again and subsequently passed on,” the Police statement said.
