In a shocking twist, Hanan, a Law undergraduate of the Bayero University Kano, who stands accused of stabbing her husband, Saeed Hussein, at their home in Kano state on Friday June 21, has said he died while she was trying to defend herself.
According to her neighbours, Hanan who was found with a swollen face and bruises all over her body had been tolerating her husband who allegedly tortured her at the slightest opportunity.
Another neighbour stated that Hanan said her husband tried beating her up on the day of the incident despite knowing that she was pregnant. She claimed it was while she was protecting herself from her husband who tried attacking her with a knife that the dastardly act mistakenly occurred.
Hussain was rushed to the hospital after the incident but he didn’t survive.
