A Kano High Court on Thursday sentenced a 19-year-old woman, Saudat Jibrin, to death by hanging for the murder of her 30-year-old husband, Salisu Idris, nine days after their wedding.
Mr Jibrin, who lives in Kumbosto Local Government Area of Kano, was charged with culpable homicide.
Delivering judgment, Justice Maryam Sabo held that the prosecution had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
“I hereby sentence Saudat Jibrin to death by hanging for culpable homicide. You have 90 days to appeal,” the judge ruled.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Lamido Abba-Sorondinki, told the court that Ms Jibrin committed the offence on 5 May 2025, at Farawa Quarters in Kano.
