“After waiting for some time she thought he was dead and proceeded to marry the second husband, Bala Abdulsalam”.

Abdulsalam, 40 years old, claimed to have paid a dowry of N20,000 to her.

“The first husband, the father of her six children and they, were living in their matrimonial home when she went ahead to marry another man”, the statement added

The spokesman said Ibrahim, after recovering from the sickness, was brought back to the house only to find out that his wife had married another man.

“The woman at the moment has three or four children for the second husband. She claimed the first husband had divorced her but he denied ever divorcing her,” Fagge said.

The woman would be charged to court after the conclusion of the investigation.
