Married Man Arrested for Killing Lover Over Alleged Infidelity in Plateau

Police in Jos, Plateau State of Nigeria, have arrested a 51-year-old married man, Moses Abraham, for allegedly killing his lover, Cecilia, after accusing her of infidelity.

The incident occurred on Friday in the Legislative Quarters area of Jos, where Abraham, a long-distance tanker driver and father of five, reportedly visited Cecilia’s apartment, which he had rented for her and found another man there.

According to eyewitnesses, Abraham left the scene, went to a nearby bar to drink, and later returned to confront Cecilia. He allegedly locked the door and beat her severely, striking her head against the wall and eventually using a stone to crush her skull.

After the attack, Abraham reportedly went to the Nasarawa-Gwom Police Station, confessed to the crime, and led officers to the scene where Cecilia’s body was recovered and taken to a mortuary.

The suspect is currently in police custody for further investigation.
