The husband of Ummulkhairi Muhammad, the woman lynched and burnt by a mob in Maraban Jos, Kaduna State, has alleged that a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) removed her hijab and sent her back to the crowd shortly before she was killed.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa monitored in Kaduna, Aliyu Muhammad recounted the final moments leading to the death of his wife, who was accused by some residents of child theft.
He said the couple had been married for 14 years and had four children—two boys and two girls—adding that the day of the incident began like any other.
Aliyu said they exchanged pleasantries before leaving home for their respective engagements.
