The alleged asthmatic woman had visited the house of the NDLEA zonal commander under the guise of selling undergarments, where they had sexual relations, and had subsequently developed a crisis and collapsed.
The suspect rushed the deceased to Bay Clinic on Bay Clinic road in Minna at 2:00 p.m. yesterday, and the death was confirmed by doctors upon arrival at the hospital.
However, when the hospital suspected foul play, our correspondent learned that the hospital quickly contacted the Police at the Tudun-Wada Police Station, in response to claims by the NDLEA zonal commander that the woman came to his house to supply him with pants, and that she had an asthmatic crisis while he rushed out to get an inhaler for her.
However, it was learned that the husband, Williams, who was shocked and saddened by the incident, claimed that his asthmatic wife did not carry an inhaler but did have prescription medications she used to calm the situation.
