The operatives of the Yobe State Police Command have detained Zainab Isa, a 22-year-old housewife, on suspicion of killing her spouse with a knife.
In a statement released on Wednesday in the state capital of Damaturu by Dungus Abdulkarim, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) said the unfortunate incident happened after a disagreement.
According to the PPRO, the suspect used a knife to attack her husband, Ibrahim Yahaya, who is 25 years old, at Abbari Ward.
Following a preliminary investigation, he claimed, the suspect admitted that she had acted in self-defence rather than with the intention of killing her spouse.
According to the suspect, she was still recovering from a recent medical procedure after giving birth when the husband allegedly started hitting and kicking her.
“The command is saddened by the unfortunate actions of a couple that led to the death of a promising young man due to the consequences of an abusive marriage.
“On June 26, 2024, the C Divisional Police Headquarters received a complaint from a neighbour about the couple. The argument, which began around 9:00 am, escalated into a physical altercation.
“Zainab Isa used a knife to stab her husband in the chest. He died from the injury before the police arrived,” Abdulkarim stated.
