A 26-year-old housewife, Fatima, is in police custody in Kano State after allegedly stabbing her husband, Auwalu, to death on Sunday in the Rimin Kebe quarters of the metropolitan area.
The couple, who had been married for less than two months, reportedly engaged in a heated argument that turned violent. Neighbors said the marriage was not one of mutual affection, with the wife having consistently expressed reluctance to the union.
According to a local resident who spoke on condition of anonymity, the deceased emerged from their home crying for help after the attack.
“Fatima struck his throat with a knife. He came out shouting that it was his wife who stabbed him. He was rushed to the police station and later to a hospital, but he died before arrival,” the source told.
The suspect was promptly arrested by officers from the Zango Police Division in Dantamashe.
“Their marriage is less than two months old. The wife is presently under police custody,” the source added.
