One Salamatu Danjuma has been arrested for killing her husband in Bauchi State.
Salamatu stabbed her partner to death with knife at Nadabo village in Tafawa Balewa Local Government area of the state.
The grounds for the action of the 25-year-old killer wife, according to the account of the incident given by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, was issue surrounding the custody of a six-year-old daughter of the couple.
Wakil shared his insights into the matter via a statement he released.
“Despite initial discussions with her family that seemed to favour welcoming the child into their home, the husband later refused, which heightened tensions between them.
“The situation escalated drastically when Salamatu, feeling cornered by her husband’s refusal and in a moment of heated argument, used a knife from their bedroom, resulting in a tragic outcome,” the spokesman narrated.
Providing further details: “Unfortunately, the attending medical staff later confirmed the husband’s death due to the injuries sustained.
