The Command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Abubakar Aliyu, made this known in a statement, on Sunday in Katsina.
He said that the tragic incident occurred behind Dadi Primary School, Sabon Gari in Daura town, when a domestic dispute between the co-wives was suspected to have escalated into a fatal confrontation.
Aliyu said that, during the investigation, her co-wife, one Rabi’a Labaran was arrested in connection with the offence.
He said that the suspect confessed to the commission of the offence, stating that a misunderstanding with the deceased led to a scuffle and the tragic incident.
