In a horrific incident that has shocked the Unguwar Tudun Yola community, unknown assailants brutally murdered two women who were married to the same Kano businessman.
The Brutal Night Attack
The violent attack occurred late on Monday night when armed individuals forced their way into the residence of Alhaji Ashiru Shu'aibu in the Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State. The attackers specifically targeted Shu'aibu's two wives, killing both women in what appears to be a premeditated assault.
In a disturbing twist to the tragedy, the assailants set one of the victims' bodies on fire before fleeing the scene. The charred remains were discovered by family members and neighbors who responded to the commotion.
Family's Heartbreaking Account
Speaking to Freedom Radio Nigeria on Friday, the grieving husband Alhaji Ashiru Shu'aibu recounted the terrifying ordeal. "They entered our house at night, killed my wives and then set one of the bodies on fire," he stated, his voice likely heavy with emotion.
The businessman expressed complete bewilderment at the motive behind the attack, emphasizing that he had no understanding of why anyone would commit such a wicked act against his family. His testimony paints a picture of a seemingly random, brutal attack that has left the family and community searching for answers.
Police Response and Investigation
The Kano State Police Command has officially confirmed the incident through its spokesperson, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa. Authorities have assured the public that a thorough investigation is currently underway to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
While police have not released specific details about potential suspects or motives, the confirmation of an active investigation provides some hope that justice will be served for the victims and their grieving family.
The community of Unguwar Tudun Yola remains in a state of shock and mourning as residents grapple with the brutal nature of the crime that has disrupted their peace and sense of security.
