Man allegedly kills in-law over N20 salt in Kano

Zakari Hamza, a 45-year-old man, is said to have been killed by Magaji Salisu, his wife’s brother, over N20 salt.

Ibrahim Zakari, the deceased man’s son, made the accusation, claiming it was the incident that killed his father.

Ibrahim claimed that the incident began when his father came home from the market and learned from his wife Sadiya Salisu that she had borrowed N20 worth of salt. This infuriated his father, who had earlier forewarned him against accepting any form of credit from anybody.

Ibrahim claimed that insults were exchanged during the fight between the deceased and his wife.

The son said his father went back to his shop and called his wife’s brother on phone telling him all that transpired at home between him and his wife.

It was alleged that the wife’s brother was said to be angry and came to the residence looking for the husband of his sister but did not meet him at home and decided to follow him to his shop at Yan shinkafa in Kura.

The deceased son alleged further that immediately Magaji set his eyes on his father, he started beating him following which his chest bones were broken.

He said they took their father to a nearby hospital in Kura town where a doctor treated and discharged him but said after they returned home, his father died.

Ibrahim said they reported the case at police station and the Divisional Police Officer of Kura invited the wife and her brother and they are now in police custody.

He appealed to Kano State Police commissioner to ensure justice for his father.

No immediate response from the police in the state on the incident.
