A man known as Dan Gaske Mai Masara, was st@bbed to d3ath by his wife three days after their wedding in Katsina State.

The tragic event took place in Tashar Aibo community, Jibia Local Government Area on the afternoon of Sunday, November 23, 2025.

The couple had only recently tied the knot on Thursday, November 18, 2025.

According to accounts from a neighbour, the husband was asleep when his wife allegedly attacked him, stabbing him in the neck with a knife.

Residents described the deceased, who was well known in the area as a maize seller, as a humble and hardworking individual.

“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! 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 as posted by his associate. The best we can do now is to pray for his departed soul to find Allah’s mercy. A word is said to be enough for the wise. Ours is to always give advice not because we know better but because we care,” wrote one Mohammad Jibo.

Community members expressed sorrow over the incident and offered prayers for the victim’s soul.

The reason behind the attack remains unclear as of the time of reporting, and officials have yet to release any formal statement.
