A housewife in Kano, identified as Fatima of Rimin Kebe quarters, has allegedly stabbed her husband, Auwalu, to death less than two months after their marriage.
The incident occurred on Sunday following an argument between the couple, who sources said were not in love when they married.
A resident of the area, who pleaded anonymity, told Daily Trust that the deceased cried out for help after being attacked.
The source said the woman allegedly stabbed the deceased over what she called forced marriage, saying she never liked the slain husband.
“Fatima hit 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 the hospital, but he died before arrival,” the source said.
The suspect was immediately arrested by officers of Zango Police Division in Dantamashe.
“Their marriage is less than two months old. The wife is presently under police custody,” the source added.
Efforts to reach Kano Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, proved abortive as he neither answered nor returned calls.
He also did not respond to a text message as at the time of filing this report.
