Tragedy struck in Keffi, Nassarrawa state penultimate Wednesday after a man identified as Hamisu allegedly beat her cousin, a woman by name, Aminat Abdullahi to death, three days to her wedding.
Hamisu, who is a younger brother to Aminat’s mother was said to have loaned his sister a sum of N100 which she did not refund as agreed.
According to sources, a visibly upset Hamisu visited his sister’s residence to collect the debt.
Aminat’s mother, however, rebuked Hamisu’s visit to her residence in the early hours of the day over a ’paltry’ N100 debt.
A source said: ‘’Hamisu was talking rudely to Aminat’s mother when she (Aminat) confronted him and asked him to stop harassing her mother.
The situation degenerated into an altercation during which Aminat rushed out of their residence and reprimanded Hamisu for unguarded remarks.
Aminat's comments attracted the wrath of Hamisu, prompting him to also rain abuses on his sister. Hamisu who could not stand his younger cousin’s remarks allegedly seized her and punched her severally till she passed out.
Sources said all efforts made to revive the bride-to-be failed and she was confirmed dead by doctors at a hospital she was rushed to for treatment.
‘’Hamisu tried to run away but Aminat’s mother held him by his trousers until the arrival of policemen who took him away to their station. It was unfortunate that the girl was killed just three days away from her wedding.’’
Hamisu was allegedly taken to a nearby police division in Keffi.
However, when the State’s Police Commissioner Mr. Bello Abubakar was contacted on the matter, he said the case was not yet reported to the police.
