A woman who allegedly administered traditional concoctions on
the late wife of a Katsina lawmaker has been arrested by the police.
Binta Safiyanu, the first wife of a member representing Musawa
constituency in the Katsina State House of Assembly, Yunusa Idris Jikamshi, was
said to have contacted the suspect for traditional medicine to assist the flow
of her breast milk.
Safiyanu, a mother of six, was said to have recently delivered a
set of twins.
Our reporter learnt that no sooner had Safiyanu taken the
medicine last week Tuesday, than she started vomiting and died about 10 minutes
later. She was taken to Musawa General Hospital where she was confirmed dead
and has since been buried.
The matter, which was first reported at Musawa police station,
was thereafter transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Bureau for
further investigation. Sources at the bureau confirmed that Sakina is being
detained while another male suspect believed to be involved is being hunted.
The state’s police command spokesman, DSP Gambo Isah, confirmed
the incident but said the matter was being investigated.
