A man has identified the woman who was beheaded at a hotel in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State, as his ex-wife.
The man, identified as Auwal Garba, informed the Adamawa State Police Command that he was married to the deceased, Bilkisu Alhaji Idi, until their divorce last month.
The gruesome incident occurred when a suspected ritual killer took the woman to the Happy Day Guest Inn, beheaded her, and then left the hotel with her head.
The hotel receptionist discovered the headless corpse when neither the woman nor the man who brought her was seen for an extended period.
The victim remained unidentified until Friday afternoon, when the story gained attention. Auwal Garba confirmed to the police that Bilkisu Alhaji Idi was his ex-wife, and they had been married for about six years, with one child from the marriage.
Garba mentioned that the deceased had called him on the day of her death, expressing a desire to speak with their child, who was not present with him at the time.
