The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested one Salamatu Danjuma, a 25-year-old resident of Nadabo village in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area, in connection with the death of her husband.
According to a statement on Monday by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, preliminary investigations showed that the couple had been facing an ongoing domestic dispute regarding the custody of their six-year-old daughter.
Wakil explained, “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.”
