A 77-year-old woman, identified as Jummai Elman, has allegedly died after she was reportedly thrown into a well following a confrontation with a suspected thief in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Elman was said to have encountered the suspect while he was allegedly stealing in her neighbourhood and reportedly confronted him.
A source close to the deceased’s family, who confirmed the incident on Wednesday, said the confrontation allegedly resulted in the suspect throwing the elderly woman into a well before fleeing the area.
The source said the suspect escaped shortly after ensuring that Elman had been thrown into the well.
It remains unclear whether the suspect succeeded in stealing anything before the alleged confrontation and attack.
The incident has reportedly left the deceased’s family, friends and members of the community shocked and mourning her death.
Elman, who was born in 1949, reportedly died on October 5, 2026.
However, authorities had yet to officially confirm the incident or issue a statement on the circumstances surrounding her death as of the time of filing this report.
