Why I stabbed my mother-in-law to death – Lady tells police in Niger state

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

The lady and her husband identified as Sani Umaru had a serious misunderstanding on April 23, which later led to a divorce. Fatima looking remorseful at the Police custody told the cops during interrogation that she decided to stab her mother-in-law to death because she never liked her and she did not give her peace, ever since she has got married to her son, Umaru.

”Since I came into their family, his mother has never liked me and I have not known anything called peace. Every day is always incomplete with my mother-in-law’s trouble. There is nothing I ever did that pleases her, she is always being antagonistic. 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 as well,” she added.

However, Fatima was still in police custody and will be charged to court soon.
