Housewife arrested for stabbing Husband to death during domestic argument

The Police command in Bauchi State has arrested a 25-year-old resident of Nadabo village in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area.

She is accused of killing her husband after a domestic dispute.

CSP Ahmed Wakil, the command’s spokesperson, confirmed this to journalists in Bauchi on Monday.

He said preliminary investigations suggest the couple had been struggling with marital issues, mainly concerning the custody of Salamatu’s six-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

“Although initial discussions with Salamatu’s family seemed to support bringing the child into their home, the husband’s subsequent refusal reportedly heightened tensions within the household,” Wakil stated.

The situation escalated fatally when, during a heated argument, the wife allegedly grabbed a knife from their bedroom.

According to Wakil, this led to the tragic incident.

Detectives from the Bununu Police Divisional Headquarters responded swiftly to a distress call. They evacuated the victim to the Cottage Hospital in Bununu for urgent medical attention.

“Despite the efforts of medical personnel, the husband was pronounced dead due to the injuries sustained,” Wakil added.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Auwal Musa, has directed the State Criminal Investigation Department to conduct a thorough and discreet investigation. Legal action will follow based on the findings.(NAN)
