A teenager in the Karshen Kwalta of Rimin Kebe area of Kano stabbed his own mother, Jummai, to death over a disagreement.
According to an eyewitness, Muhammad Abdu, who is a neighbour to the deceased, the incident happened around 05:30pm.

The suspect fled the scene shortly after committing the heinous crime against his mother. The deceased was later carried to a hospital in a tricycle with blood all over her body but was pronounced dead upon arrival.
“We’re on our way to the cemetery now for burial. May Allah forgive her and admit her in paradise,” Abdu said.
