A Chinese man has allegedly stabbed his lover, Ummakulsum Sani Buhari, a 23-year-old woman, to death at Janbulo quarters, Kumbotso local government area of Kano.
The incident reportedly happened around 10pm on Friday after the suspect came to visit the deceased, identified as Ummakulsum Sani Buhari, at her parents’ house located adjacent National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) office.
While what transpired between the duo and led to the unfortunate event remains sketchy, MoneyCentral gathered that she was certified dead by a doctor.
Abubakar Mustapha, a neighbour to the deceased, said that the late Ummakulsum Buhari was a divorcee and the suspect was her boyfriend.
“The incident happened around 10:00pm last night. The murderer was her boyfriend since before she got married. Her husband divorced her and they went on with their friendship as boyfriend and girlfriend. He often went to her house. She was taken to UMC Zhair Hospital not more than a kilometer away from her house and she died.”
“Khaleed, her brother stopped the mob from attacking the murderer when he came back for his car when he entered the house because he (Khaleed) thought that will lead to a different thing. The man was then caught and handed over to the police,” Mustapha said.
Another neighbour, Muhammad Sani, said that the suspect once attempted suicide because of the girlfriend.
“When she was about getting married, he once attempted suicide because of his love for her until the police intervened and everything was settled,” he said.
He added that the suspect had been taken to the divisional police station at Dorayi quarters.
The deceased, Ummakulsum, popularly known as ‘Ummita’ attended Kano School of Nursing and Midwifery.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Kano, Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, confirmed the incident and promised to provide more information later.
