“I don’t want to share her with anybody and that is why I will go the extra mile to fulfil her needs. I don’t care what it may result to, my duty is to provide what she needs before any other thing, I love her so much,” he said without remorse.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, confirmed that the stolen motorcycle was recovered from the suspect.
