[News Update] Why I stabbed my mother in-law to death- lady tells police in Niger state

The 37-year-old lady, who was arrested on Monday April 27 for stabbing her mother-in-law, Aishatu Umaru, to death in Niger state, has given a reason for her action.

Fatima and her husband, Sani Umaru had a misunderstanding on April 23, which led to a divorce.

An unremorseful Fatima told the police during interrogation, that she decided to stab her mother in-law because the deceased never liked her and did not give her peace since she got married to her son.

”Since I came into that family, I have not known anything called peace. Every day is punctuated with my mother-in-law’s trouble. There is nothing I did that pleased her and I decided to stab her to death so that everything would be over.

I know I have done something that even Allah will not forgive me, but let the law take its course.  Since she did not want me to have peace in my matrimonial home, Allah will not set her free.” she said

She is currently in police custody and will be charged to court soon.
