Woman Allegedly Kills Husband Planning To Marry Second Wife In Kano

A woman in Rogo local government area of Kano state, Bilkisu Sani, has been arrested over the alleged killing of her husband, Hafizu Gausu, who was reportedly planning to take a second wife.  
‎
‎A resident of the area, Auwal Kazagi Rogo, told Daily Trust that the incident happened on Friday around 7pm in the Katsalle area of Rogo town.
‎
He said residents rushed to the scene after hearing cries from Gausu’s wife, who claimed her husband had been slaughtered.
‎
‎“On reaching there, we saw that he was not slaughtered but hit on the head with an object. He fell in blood and died. There was even a sign of bite on his ear,” Kazagi said.

He added that police were immediately called and later evacuated the body for investigation.
‎
‎Kazagi added that it was alleged that Gausu had recently been engaged with another woman, with plans to marry her as a second wife.
‎
His decision had sparked repeated quarrels with Bilkisu, who allegedly vowed to stop the marriage. Elders had earlier intervened in the dispute, but tensions persisted.
‎
‎Kazagi said police have since arrested Bilkisu as the prime suspect while investigations continue.
‎
‎The husband, on the other hand, was buried Saturday morning in Rogo according to Islamic rites.
‎
‎The couple had been married for nearly seven years, blessed with two children, and Bilkisu is said to be currently pregnant for the late husband.
‎
‎Sources at the area said Gausu had even asked his fiancée’s family to bring the wedding date forward by two months due to his wife’s resistance.(Daily trust)
