In the Tudun Wada area of Daura, Katsina state, a 90-year-old woman, Hajiya Amina, and her 23-year-old granddaughter, Bilkisu, were brutally murdered.
The incident occurred at their residence behind Tashar Kudu on Thursday, February 1, 2024. According to reports, the nonagenarian was strangled, and her granddaughter was slaughtered by unknown assailants.
Allegations suggest that the granddaughter’s stomach was ripped open, and her kidney was removed, but these claims are yet to be independently verified. Earlier, the victims had reported a burglary incident involving the theft of their plasma TV, leading to an ongoing police investigation. The TV was recovered, but the investigation was still underway when the tragic murders occurred. A spokesperson for the State Police Command, ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, confirmed the incident, noting that details were still sketchy.
