AMagistrates’ Court sitting in Kano State has remanded a newlywed woman, Khadija Sa’idu, in a correctional facility over the alleged culpable homicide of her husband, Malam Auwal Adam.

Khadija, a resident of Hayin Lawal, Rimin Kebe, in Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano State, was arraigned by the police over allegations that she stabbed her husband in the chest and neck following a disagreement about her request to attend a party.

The court, presided over by Magistrate Haulatu Magaji Kankarofi, ordered that the suspect be remanded pending further proceedings in the case.
