A middle-aged woman identified as Fatima Malam, is on the run after she allegedly stabbed her neighbour’s 6-year old daughter, Sherifat Usman, at Gadon Kaya Damatsiri in Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State.
It was gathered that the suspect stabbed Sherifat over an alleged plan of her husband to get another wife through advice from the victim’s father.
According to The Punch, a source in the area disclosed that in an act of vengeance, Fatima stabbed Sherifat severally on her stomach with the intention to kill her over her father’s alleged meddlesomeness into her marital home.
The source explained that Fatima was angered when she learnt that Sherifat’s father, a close friend of her husband, has been the one advising him to get a second wife.
But Fatima’s husband, identified as Mallam, claimed that his wife is mentally-deranged.
The investigation however revealed that Fatima had lured Sherifat to escort her to Mariri in Kumbotso Local Government Area where she stabbed the little girl severally on her stomach.
“On their way to Mariri, Fatima bought a kitchen knife on credit. She took Sherifat to an uncompleted building where she stabbed her severally on her stomach with the sole intention to kill her,â€
