The Kano police command says it has arrested a 22-year-old man for allegedly stabbing his mother to death.
According to NAN, Abdullahi Haruna-Kiyawa, the command’s spokesperson, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Friday.
Haruna-Kiyawa said the suspect, Ibrahim Musa, who lives at Rimin Kebe quarters, Kano, stabbed his 50-year-old mother with a sharp knife at different parts of her body on Wednesday.
