The incident, which occurred at a local hotel, was confirmed by police spokesperson CSP Abdullahi Haruna-Kiyawa. The suspect, who hails from Jigawa State, reportedly used a knife to carry out the assault after finding out her partner planned to wed another person. Police officers responding to the scene successfully arrested the woman and recovered the weapon, while the victim was transported to Abubakar Imam Urology Hospital for urgent care.
In a separate incident, the Kano State Police Command has detained three individuals, including a married couple, regarding the death of 30-year-old Abubakar Auwal.
