Suspected Ritualists Kill 20- Year-Old Bride After Wedding


Facts have emerged on how Aisha Isa Fagge,
a newly-wedded bride was killed just twelve
days after her wedding.
The Kano bride was found brutally murdered
by unknown person(s) in August 2015 and
there were no traces as to who could have
perpetrated the dastardly act.
But, five months down the line, facts have
started building up on the possibility of her
husband being involved in the untimely death
of the bride which incident occurred in
Sharada Ja’en Quarters, Kano.

Muhammad, the deceased’s husband told
police that he found her lifeless body in the
sitting room, with both of her hands tied with
a rope.

In his explanation, Muhammad confirmed
that he had spoken with her on the phone at
about 10.00am that day and all was well but
became worried when he got home and did
not get a response to the knocks on the door.
He said: “A neighbour, Rabi’u Abdulkadir,
joined me and we broke down the door, and
entered the house to find Aisha dead.”
Contrary to police reports that she was
raped, a family source revealed that the
women who performed the cleansing ritual on
the late bride’s corpse, confirmed that there
were no signs of rape, insisting that she was
used for ritual.
The source said: “She was found fully-clothed
with no sign of struggle or assault. Only her
husband, Nura, can shed true light, as he
was the first person on the murder scene.”
According to Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO), DSP Magaji Musa Majia, “Late Aisha
was found dead, naked with her two hands
tied with a rope, suggesting that she was
raped before killed.

“Police had during investigation discovered
some bloodstains and semen on Abdulzahir
Muhammad Saminu, one of the two suspects
arrested. Saminu is the groom’s friend, while
the other suspect is Rabi’u Abdulkadir, a
neighbor.”
But when the case came up last Monday for
continuation, Alhaji Muhammad, the
deceased’s husband had been arrested on the
premises of the court as requested by the
prosecution counsel Barrister Lamido Abba
Soron-Dinki.
The PPRO informed afterwards that, “We
have strong evidence that Nura had a hand in
the murder of late Aisha,” adding that he is
being interrogated at the Criminal
Investigation Department (CID) of the
command.
While being taken to a vehicle parked at the
premises of the court, Muhammad reportedly
told journalists that, “Even if one of the two
accused persons is my friend does not mean
I am party to the murder of my late wife.
Why on earth would I kill my own wife?”
The late bride’s father, Alhaji Isa Fagge, while
commenting on the sad incident, told Daily
Trust although he was shocked with the turn
of things, he has left everything to God.
“I’ve left everything to God. I have lost her
and she will never come back again,” he said,
adding that since the police have taken over
the case, he hopes justice will prevail.
