Ishaya Markus was just taken into custody by the police for the March 3, 2024, murder of a married man in the Luggere Gajere community of Adamawa State, according to a story published by Sahara Reporters. After confessing to the crime, Markus said that he had been having an affair with Libiyatu Albert, the victim’s wife.
Markus clarified to Nguroje, the Adamawa State Police Command spokesperson, that although he had gone to the neighborhood to meet Libiyatu, she was not at home. He claimed that the victim approached him about his relationship with his wife when he was traveling back home. He said that during a furious disagreement that turned physical, he fatally stabbed the victim.
In Markus’ words: “On that fateful day, I went to the community where the deceased and his wife lived, to take her out again even after the warning, but I did not meet her. While I was returning home, I met with the deceased and he asked to know whether I went to see his wife again. A fight ensued in the course of the argument. He pulled out his knife and I also pulled out my own and engaged in a fight. He cut me and I stabbed him in his stomach and neck leading to his death”.
