Kano –
The Police in Kano on Tuesday vowed to arrest those behind the murder of a
newly-wed bride (name withheld) in Sha’iskawa village of Danbatta Local
Government Area of the state.
The
Public Relations Officer of the state Police Command, DSP Magaji Majiya, told
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the command had already commenced
investigation into the incident with a view to arresting perpetrators of the
dastardly act.
“After we received the report of the incident
around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, the Crime Investigation Department swung into
action. “As the Police reported to the scene, they found that the late bride
was raped before she was stabbed to death in her matrimonial room. “We have so
far launched an investigation into the incident and that will lead us to the
arrest of the assailants,” Majiya said. He, however, said that the command was
yet to make any arrests, but the knife used in killing the woman had been
recovered. He reminded members of the public on the need to always be security
conscious.
NAN
recalls that the victim was stabbed to death on Saturday night in her room few
days after her wedding and the husband returned to Abuja where he runs his
business.
A similar
incident happened last year when a teen bride was reportedly raped and
slaughtered by hoodlums at Bachirawa quarters in Kano metropolis.
