A 30-year-old man, Abubakar Auwal, has died after he was allegedly beaten by a group of people over claims that he was having an affair with a married woman in Kano State.
The incident occurred on July 24 in the Sheka area of Kano and led to the arrest of three suspects by the Kano State Police Command.
