The Bauchi state police command apprehended a young girl identified as Salman Hassan, who was arrested for killing her husband because he requested for sex from her. Salman was reported to have stabbed her husband, Mohammed Mustapha, to death for demanding sex from her, 11 days after their wedding.
The case was reported to the Itas-Gadau police station, and the 18 years old housewife was arrested and paraded by Philip Maku, who is the Commissioner of police in the state.
Speaking with journalists, Salman Hassan said :
“We were married and we loved each other. After 11 days of our marriage, he came to sleep with me but I refused. He hit me and I took a knife and stabbed him. I never meant to kill him. I only wanted to threaten him. It was a small stab and I did not know he would die.
“I am in great pain. I am in bitter. I don’t know what will happen to me.”
