Monday, April 21, 2025 - A man has reportedly divorced his wife at a police station in Minna, Niger State, shortly after she was arrested by security operatives during a raid on a hotel.
A security operative, who spoke to Daily Trust on
condition of anonymity, said the woman was among several people apprehended
during a clampdown on hotels suspected to be hideouts
for sara-suka gang members and drug dealers.
According to him, her marital status only became known after
she was brought to the police station and the relatives of those arrested were
contacted.
“Following the recurring youth restiveness and attacks on
innocent citizens, the Deputy Governor, Comrade Yakubu Garba, after going round
Minna recently, directed security operatives to go after the youths causing the
unrest and stopping innocent citizens from going about their businesses,” the
source said.
“We embarked on the operation at some hotels suspected to be
their hideouts. During the operations, many suspects were arrested, including
women. And to our surprise, a man came to say that one of the women was his
wife, and instantly, he divorced her three times
“We didn’t know that she was married and did not know what
took her there because police had not yet conducted an investigation about the
suspects when the husband came to the station.”
