The Yobe State Police Command has arrested a 22-year-old man following a dramatic and shocking incident in Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State — where the suspect allegedly shot another man with a bow and arrow after catching him in a compromising position with his wife.
What Happened?
As the story goes, the young husband reportedly returned home only to find his wife in a situation no married person ever wants to witness. Overcome with rage — the kind of anger Nigerians often describe as “seeing red” — the suspect did not reach for a firearm or a machete. Instead, he went old school, grabbing a bow and arrow to confront the man.
The arrow found its mark, and the victim sustained injuries as a result of the attack. Neighbours and community members were left shaken by the incident, which quickly drew the attention of local security forces.
Police Move In
The Yobe State Police Command swung into action following a report of the incident. The command’s spokesperson confirmed that the 22-year-old suspect was subsequently arrested and taken into custody in connection with the attack.
Investigations are currently ongoing, and the case is expected to be charged to court in due course.
A Reminder About the Law
As understandable as emotions can be in situations involving betrayal, Nigerian law is clear — no one has the right to take justice into their own hands, regardless of the provocation. Whether it is a domestic dispute or an act of perceived infidelity, resorting to violence can land you behind bars, as this young man is now learning the hard way.
The Nigerian Police Force continues to urge members of the public to report disputes to the appropriate authorities rather than resorting to self-help measures that could result in injury, death, or criminal prosecution.

This case serves as a sobering reminder that matters of the heart, no matter how painful, should never be resolved through violence.
