    LAFIA— The wife of a first class traditional ruler in Nasarawa State, Amina Zubairu, has been sentenced to death by hanging for killing her husband by the State High Court sitting in Lafia.
In her judgment yesterday, Justice Aisha Bashir said that the accused was found guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced her to death by hanging.The late Alhaji Adamu Zubairu until his death in February 2014 was the traditional ruler or the ‘Gom Mama’ of Kwarra chiefdom in Wamba local government area of the state.
According to the Police, the circumstances leading to the death of the traditional ruler were suspicious and a search conducted in the scene indicated that the victim could have been murdered as poisonous chemical and syringe were recovered from the compound.Amina, being the prime suspect and one of the wives of the traditional ruler was arrested and charged to court for culpable homicide having been linked to the demise of her husband.
