Confirming the incident in a statement released on Monday, February 24, the spokesperson of the command, CSP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil said the couple had been at loggerhead over Salamatu’s 6-year-old daughter from her previous relationship.

He said;

“On February 24, 2025, the Bauchi State Police Command apprehended Salamatu Danjuma, a 25-year-old resident of Nadabo village in Tafawa Balewa LGA, in connection with the unfortunate death of her husband, following a domestic dispute,”

“Preliminary investigations reveal that the couple had been facing ongoing marital challenges regarding the custody of Salamatu’s six-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

 

“Despite initial discussions with her family that seemed to favour welcoming the child into their home, the husband later refused, which heightened tensions between them.

“The situation escalated drastically when Salamatu, feeling cornered by her husband’s refusal and in a moment of heated argument, used a knife from their bedroom, resulting in a tragic outcome.

 

Responding swiftly to a distress call, detectives from the Bununu Police Divisional Headquarters were drafted to the scene. They evacuated the victim to the Cottage Hospital in Bununu for immediate medical assistance.

“Unfortunately, the attending medical staff later confirmed the husband’s d3ath due to the injuries sustained.

 

“In light of these events, the Commissioner of Police, CP Auwal Musa Mohammed, psc, Anipr, has directed the State Criminal Investigation Department to conduct a thorough and discreet inquiry into the matter.

“Following the investigation, appropriate legal actions will be taken.”
