A housewife, Hafsat Surajo, has narrated why and how she killed the domestic staff of her household, Nafiu Hafiz.
The police have also offered reasons for the arrest of her husband, Dayyabu Abdullahi, and gateman, Malam Adamu.
Surajo, who spoke when she was paraded at the Headquarters of the Kano State Police Command in Kano, said: “I killed him because he prevented me from killing myself.
“While he attempted to snatch the knife from my hand, a quarrel ensued between us and in the process, I had a cut in my hand and blood was gushing out.
“He asked me to go in and change.
“It was when I went in to change and was coming out, I saw him lying down saying he was not feeling fine and was on medication.
“I saw the knife by his side and I seized the opportunity to pick up the knife and stabbed him several times.”
The Command’s Commissioner, CP Hussaini Gumel, who paraded the 24-year-old housewife, said Surajo was arrested for allegedly stabbing Hafiz, to death.
The police said the incident occurred in Unguwa Uku of Taurani Local Government Area of the state.
