The Network of Women-led Civil Society Organizations in Yobe State has condemned the murder of a woman, Ammi Adamu Mamman, in Damaturu, the state capital.
The woman was murdered while sleeping beside her husband on January 4, 2024.
DAILY POST reports that her 43-year-old husband, Abubakar Musa, has been arrested by Police over the murder.
Chairperson of the Network, Barrister Altine Ibrahim, in a statement issued on Sunday, indicated that women-led civil society organizations in the state were deeply troubled by the details surrounding the death of late Ammi Adamu, who was a volunteer to one of the member organizations.
“The Women-led Civil Society Network in Yobe State, supports the current investigation launched by the security agencies in the state on the recent alleged murder of late Ammi Adamu Mamman.
“While urging the authorities to leave no stone unturned to ensure that the perpetrator of this act faces the full wrath of the law, women groups in the state remain committed and vigilant,” she said.
The chairperson noted that the incident has raised concerns regarding the safety and security of women in their homes.
“It is indeed a cause for grave concern if a woman is not safe even while asleep on her own bed and with her husband, who in our society is seen as a roof and major source of protection for the family, is the alleged perpetrator.”
Altine called on all civil society organizations, alongside professional bodies within the state and across the federation, to insist that justice be done in the matter.
She stressed that it is crucial that such atrocities are brought to the forefront to prevent further occurrences and to protect the rights and well-being of women in the society.
“We are determined to keep this matter on the limelight and to sustain advocacy until justice for late Ammi Adamu Mamman is fully served,” she declared.
