According to P.M. Express, the late Faruok had complained that his wife poisoned his food which affected his health that had deteriorated all because she wanted to continue with her secret romance with their landlord, an allegation Amina denied.
According to the report, the deceased and the wife had only one child and they have been having constant quarrel.
It was gathered that the matter had been going on for some time to the extent that the Baale of Orisumbare Community had to wade in to broker peace but all to no avail until he was found dead.
The residents, including the Landlord’s wife, who refused to disclose her name, confirmed the incident to the newspaper.
