A 20-year-old, Ibrahim Mutari, has allegedly killed his father’s 70-year-old stepmother, Hauwa Abubakar, in Yanbula community of Jos North local government Area of Plateau State.
The Nation reports that residents of the community and divisional police personnel from Laranto Division converged on the deceased’s residence, adding the suspect attacked the deceased around 3 pm.
Abubakar Shuaibu, husband of the deceased, condemned the killing, describing the incident as cruel and inhumane.
Commenting on the incident, the deceased’s husband accused Ibrahim of attacking, strangling and stabbing his wife with a knife before fleeing the scene.
Ummi Ahmed, a daughter of the deceased, accused Ibrahim of killing their mother.
She alleged that before the killing, the suspect had vowed to take revenge for a fight that ensued between him and their elder brother, Musa, after he was stabbed with a knife last year.
She said: “Ibrahim and our younger brother, Musa, fought last year and in the process, Musa stabbed him in the stomach. He was rushed to the hospital. While in hospital, Ibrahim vowed to take revenge on either the deceased’s children or their mother, and today he’s actualised his threat.
“One of the nurses warned us to be cautious, saying his utterances were dangerous. Ummi further explained that their mother had taken care of Ibrahim while he was hospitalised.
She said: “The deceased was his caregiver; she took care of him until he was discharged. Despite her kindness, he went ahead and killed her.”
Our correspondent gathered that the suspect’s father was raised by the deceased, whose mother died when he was a small child.
The deceased took him in and cared for him like a mother until he reached adulthood.
To reciprocate, the father of the suspect took her into his house and cared for her as a mother until the father of the suspect died.
Spokesperson of the Plateau Police Command, SP Alabo Alfred, was yet to respond to inquiry by The Nation on the incident.
