A 30-year-old man, Uwani Danjuma, has killed his wife because she planned to re-marry after his supposed death. The incident occurred at Uddu Village in the Rijau Local Government Area of Niger State.

Confessing to the crime, the suspect said his wife was sleeping when he carried out the heinous act, saying he purposely killed his wife because of her comment to him.
“I can’t imagine my own wife telling me that if I died, she will remarry. I lost my temper and inflicted injuries on her neck with a matchete, which led to her death.“I am not regretting killing her since she wanted me to die, I killed her so that she will not remarry. She should not have said that to my hearing. There is power in the spoken words; so let her go. Allah will send her to hell fire for that unguarded comment,” he said.
