A 20-year-old, Ibrahim Mutari, has allegedly killed his father’s 70-year-old stepmother, Hauwa Abubakar, in Yanbula community of Jos North local government Area of Plateau State.
The Nation reports that residents of the community and divisional police personnel from the Laranto Division converged on the deceased’s residence, adding that the suspect attacked the deceased around 3 pm.
Abubakar Shuaibu, husband of the deceased, condemned the killing, describing the incident as inhumane. Commenting on the incident, the deceased’s husband accused Ibrahim of attacking, strangling, and stabbing his wife with a knife before fleeing the scene.
Ummi Ahmed, a daughter of the deceased, accused Ibrahim of killing their mother. She alleged that before the killing, the suspect had vowed to take revenge for a fight that ensued between him and their elder brother, Musa, after he was stabbed with a knife last year.
“One of the nurses warned us to be cautious, saying his utterances were dangerous. Ummi further explained that their mother had taken care of Ibrahim while he was hospitalised.
She said: “The deceased was his caregiver; she took care of him until he was discharged. Despite her kindness, he went ahead and killed her.”
