A 20-year-old man, Ibrahim Mutari, has allegedly killed his father’s 70-year-old stepmother, Hauwa Abubakar, in Yanbula community, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The tragic incident reportedly occurred at about 3:00 p.m. on Monday, February 2, 2026.
The husband of the deceased, Abubakar Shuaibu, condemned the act, describing it as cruel and inhumane.
He alleged that the suspect attacked, strangled, and stabbed his wife before fleeing the scene.
A daughter of the deceased, Ummi Ahmed, disclosed that the suspect had earlier threatened to take revenge following a violent altercation between him and their younger brother, Musa, which occurred last year.
According to her, the two brothers had fought during which Musa allegedly stabbed Ibrahim in the stomach, leading to his hospitalisation.
“Ibrahim vowed to take revenge on either the children of the deceased or their mother while he was in the hospital. Sadly, he has now carried out that threat,” she said.
