Musa was sentenced to death for the culpable homicide of his 42-year-old wife, following an incident on January 4, 2024, at their residence in New Bra-Bra Housing Estate, Damaturu. The Yobe State Police Command arrested him after he reported that he discovered his wife had been stabbed in the neck while they were sleeping.
He claimed to have heard her shouting and saw a man with a knife, but the court found his defense unconvincing. The Chief Judge of the Yobe State High Court No. 1, Justice G.K.
Kaigama, presided over the case, which included testimony from eight prosecution witnesses. Justice Kaigama ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt and rejected Musa's plea of not guilty.
