    “On Sept. 16, 2022 at about 8:30 p.m. I called her on WhatsApp call she picked up the call and said since I can’t afford to give her all the financial support, I should forget about her.

    “She is ill-tempered and gets angry easily, all her family members and friends know this.

    “When she picked up the call she said I should send back the pet dog(Charlie)to her. I wanted to talk some more but she ended the call. That was why I went to her house.

    “I sent a message to her through WhatsApp telling her I brought Charlie but she said I was stupid.

    “Ummukulsums sister opened the gate, came over to the car, picked the dog and went back in. She left me outside for more than 30 minutes in the rain. I knocked on the door many times but nobody answered me.

    “A  neighbour. Mustapha approached me and called one of her sisters, Asiya with his phone, but she didn’t pick the call.

    “Ummukulsum later opened the door for me and I went inside to pick up the dog. On my way out she rushed out from the living room and locked the door to the house before the gate.

    “Ummukulsum was very angry. She went in and brought out a knife. I  dropped Charlie the dog because i was very scared.

    “I tried to hold her other hand to grab the knife from her. She tried to fight and we were struggling, she bit me on my hand and finger.

    “The deceased abused me in Hausa and English language and then I got possession of the knife and refused to let go.

    “She used her other hand to grab my private part and I was in pain”, he added

    He explained that Ummukulsum pulled him inside the living room and slapped him.

    Frank said he didn’t know where he stabbed her.

    ”I realized that I may have stabbed her three days after the incident when another neighbour, Aminu told me.

    “I felt so bad, sorrowful and cried bitterly when I had the news of her death.

    The defence counsel at this point tendered vital documents to the court.

    The Prosecutor, Attorney General of Kano State, Musa Abdullahi-Lawan, alleged that the defendant on Sept. 16, 2022 stabbed the deceased with a knife in her house at Janbulo quarters Kano for undisclosed reasons.

    The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

    He said that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 221(b) of the Penal Code.

    Justice Sanusi Ado-Ma’aji, adjourned the matter until Feb.7 and Feb.8, for continuation of defense.
