The dissolution of a marriage by a Sharia court in Rano Local Government Area of Kano State has ended in life threatening situation as the embittered husband Bilyaminu Abdullahi, stabbed his ex-wife, Shafa’atu Sule,
Penpushing reports that, Abdullahi took the action moments after court dissolved marriage and also ordered the woman to pay the former husband the sum of N20, 000 as a refund of her bride price.
The angry man who had earlier pleaded with the court not to dissolve the marriage was not comfortable with the Sharia court judgement, pulled out a knife and stabbed his former wife and her brother, Adamu Saleh.
Penpushing further reports that, following the ugly development, the Kano State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Kiyawa, said Abdullahi said the suspect was later arrested
The police spokesman said the suspect expressed regret after his arrest, saying he took a wrong decision because he was emotional following the court verdict, and reportedly insisted he did not want separation from his wife.
Penpushing also reports that, the police said, the suspect stated that another court had refused a petition from his in-laws for the dissolution of the marriage after he told the court that he still loves his wife.
“Her brother came and took her away. I went to their house but they chased me away. I also sent my trustees to intervene, but that also did not yield the desired result as they insisted on divorce, which I refused,” Kiyawa quoted the suspect as saying in his statement to the police.
Penpushing reports that, the Command Public Relations Officer said the Commissioner of Police, Habu Sani, had ordered the case transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department for investigation and prosecution.
