The wife of the victim, Lima Master aged 40, told police that earlier that day the two were having fun at a drinking spree at Ngatala Trading Centre.

“In the process , the suspect bought one kilogram of goat meat which was supposed to be eaten at home,” said Daudi.

An hour after Abudu left the drinking joint, the suspect also decided to go home and it’s when he discovered that the meat was missing.

The suspect followed Abudu to his house and found him having supper with his family.
