Bauchi man st@bbed to d3ath by his pregnant wife after he expressed intention to reconcile with former wife

A housewife identified as Ummi Lukman has allegedly st@bbed her husband, Lukman Husaini, 36, to d3ath in Tashan Tabo district, Tafawa Balewa local government of Bauchi State.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Friday, February 21, 2025. 

Speaking to Bauchi publication, Wikki Times, Abdullahi Jibrin, the deceased’s brother, said Ummi confessed to st@bbing her husband in the chest after he (Late Lukman) expressed his intention to reconcile with his former wife, whom she (suspect) had allegedly influenced him to divorce. 

“She had shown signs of aggression in the past few days. We noticed her resentment towards her husband’s decision to bring back his ex-wife.

“We went to the scene and found him in a pool of blood, lying d3ad at the gate, on the way calling for help. She threw the knife she used into the toilet pit. From the bedroom to the compound, everywhere was soaked in his blood,” Abdullahi recounted.

The couple’s marriage, which lasted for only a year, had been riddled with conflict, with family members warning Husaini about Ummi’s violent tendencies. 

Just weeks before the f@tal st@bbing, Abdullahi said, she poured hot water on him, leaving him with severe burns.

Zaliha Idris, the deceased’s sister, described Lukman as a kind and gentle man. 

“While our mother insists that she must be killed as well, we leave everything in the hands of God,” she said struggling to hold back tears.

Amadu Jibrin, the late Husaini’s marital guardian, disclosed that the family had repeatedly advised him to divorce Ummi due to her troubling behaviour.
