Jealous woman kills, burns co-wife

A woman has beaten her co-wife to death and set her corpse ablaze in Minna, Niger State.

The co-wife, identified as Fatima, from Sabuwar Unguwa, Katsina metropolis, got married less than two months ago.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, according to a source close to the deceased’s family. “I learnt that the woman went to Fatima’s house with one or two people.

“Probably they didn’t intend to kill her, but when they realized that she wasn’t breathing after beating her, they decided to set her room, along with her corpse, ablaze.

“Fatima’s father Mal Ibrahim, who teaches at an Islamiyyah school in the residence of retired AIG Umar Maiwada, is really devastated by the news.

“The janaza (funeral prayer) for late Fatima is slated to hold today Wednesday at Sabuwar Unguwa.”

The Niger State Police Command is not immediately available for comment.

Meanwhile, people have been commenting on the incident on social media.
