CP Muhammad Yusufu, the State Commissioner of Police, revealed this development during a press briefing held in Maiduguri on Monday, October 9, 2023. According to CP Yusufu, the suspect attacked Modu with a sharp knife due to suspicions that he was attempting to seduce his wife, Hajja Fantami.

As a result of the attack, the victim suffered fatal injuries. The incident stemmed from an encounter on September 15, 2023, when Abubakar observed the deceased standing with his wife, Hajja Fantami, at the water pump and suspected Modu of attempting to engage with his spouse.
