A 26-year-old man identified as Aminu Inuwa of Unguwar Jakada in Kano, has been apprehended after he killed his 18-year-old wife for ‘being disobedient’ one month after their wedding.

The suspect who buried his wife Safara’u in the matrimonial home, was nabbed after he approached a neighbour with series of questions on how to bury a corpse and the Islamic injunction on whoever kills a human being.

Community leaders in the area who stormed the man’s house after the incident was reported, found blood-stained shovel and digger beside what appeared to be a grave.
However speaking to journalists, the man admitted killing his wife barely a month after their wedding for being disobedient. He further claimed it was accidental and not intentional.

Number one;you're still a small boy at 26.Most 26 years old guys are not ripe for marriage in Nigeria.
Number two:How did you slaughter her by mistake? Slaughter is not related to manslaughter in anyway despite the fact that the words sounds alike.
