Newlywed Tragedy Rocks Katsina Community
A shocking domestic violence incident has left the Tashar Aibo community in Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State in mourning after a newly married woman allegedly stabbed her husband to death just three days after their wedding ceremony.
The victim, identified as Dan Gaske Mai Masara, a popular maize seller described by neighbors as humble and hardworking, met his tragic end on Sunday afternoon, November 23, 2025.
Details of the Tragic Incident
According to eyewitness accounts from neighbors, the horrific event occurred while the husband was sleeping peacefully. His wife of merely three days allegedly attacked him with a knife, stabbing him in the neck in what witnesses described as a brutal assault.
The couple had just celebrated their marriage on Thursday, November 18, 2025, making the tragedy even more devastating for the community that had recently witnessed their union.
Community Reaction and Warnings
Local resident Mohammad Jibo expressed the community's shock and grief in a social media post that has since circulated widely. He wrote: "If you are in an unhealthy relationship or marriage, quit it now. If you allow anything to happen to you, you caused it yourself and nothing might happen thereafter!"
Jibo continued, emphasizing the brevity of the marriage: "This man married this woman on 18/11/2025 and she used a knife to slaughter him on 23/11/2025 when he was sleeping in the afternoon."
The community has rallied around the victim's family, offering prayers for the repose of his soul. Many described the maize seller as a peaceful man who didn't deserve such a tragic fate.
The motive behind the deadly attack remains unknown as authorities continue their investigation into what prompted such violence so soon after the wedding celebration.
Official Response and Ongoing Investigation
At the time of reporting, local authorities had not issued an official statement regarding the incident. The case highlights growing concerns about domestic violence in Nigerian communities and the importance of addressing relationship issues before they turn fatal.
Community leaders have called for calm while urging couples to seek help when facing marital challenges rather than resorting to violence.
