One 6-year-old girl, Sherifat Usman has been stabbed by her neighbour named Fatima Malam, at Gadon Kaya Damatsiri in Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State.

Fatima, a middle-aged woman was said to have stabbed Sherifat over an alleged plan of her husband to get another wife through advice from the victim's father. Fatima ran away immediately after her action.

A source in the area disclosed that in an act of vengeance, Fatima stabbed Sherifat severally on her stomach with the intention to kill her over her father’s alleged meddlesomeness into her marital home.

The source explained that Fatima was angered when she learnt that Sherifat’s father, a close friend of her husband, has been the one advising him to get a second wife.

Reacting to the incident, Fatima’s husband, identified as Mallam, claimed that his wife is mentally-deranged.

The investigation however revealed that Fatima had lured Sherifat to escort her to Mariri in Kumbotso Local Government Area where she stabbed the little girl severally on her stomach.
