According to Punch, the incident occurred between Christmas and New Year in Lafiyagi Dzwafu village, Katcha Local Government Area, during a heated argument where Fatima revealed her lack of affection for him.
Sources reported that the couple frequently quarreled over their inability to have children, creating a toxic and conflict-ridden environment. On the night of Aliyu’s death, they had another argument, after which he went to bed.
Fatima recounted that she waited until he was asleep, then tied a rope around his neck to immobilize him and struck him with a pestle three times—twice on the head and once on the hand—taking advantage of his deep sleep.
After the attack, she wrapped his body in a mat, threw it over the fence, and dragged it into the backyard bushes. She then cleaned up the blood and excrement that had spilled from his body during the assault.
In her confession, Fatima said, “When he came back, he went to bed. I used a rope to tie his neck, and he could not struggle. I hit him with a pestle three times, twice on his head and once on his hand. I took advantage of his deep sleep.
“After I killed him, I wrapped him inside a mat, threw him over the fence, and dragged him to the bush in the backyard before coming back to wash the blood and excreta that came out of his body.”
