How Chinese Murdered My 22-Yr-Old Youth Corps, Daughter, Mother Recounts As Police Confirms Incident

The Kano State Police Command has confirmed
Friday evening alleged murder of Miss Ummukulthum Sani of Janbulo Quarters in Kano by Mr Gheng Chu, a Chinese national based in the state.

The Police Public Relations Officers (PPRO), SP Abdullahi Haruna, confirmed the murder during a press conference on Saturday in Kano.

Haruna said that the Command received a distress call on Friday evening at around 10 pm and that the Commissioner of Police, Mr Lawal Abubakar, dispatched a team to the scene.
He said, “the 47- year-old Chinese visited the residence of his 22-year- old girlfriend, Miss Ummukulthum Sani, and they got involved in an argument before he allegedly stabbed her many times with a knife.

SP Haruna explained that when the Police team got to the scene of the incident, they rushed the victim to the Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital where she was confirmed dead.

SP Haruna also confirmed the arrest of the suspect, saying that a detailed investigation into the case had been launched on the orders of the Commissioner of Police.

Narrating the incident to newsmen on Saturday, the mother confirmed that her daughter was in a relationship with the suspect before she got married about three years ago. She explained that the marriage failed after three months which made the Chinese stalk their house although her daughter never paid attention to him.

“But on that fateful Friday evening, the sound of his knock on the gate was too disturbing and I decided to open it and he pushed me and gained entrance to her room.

“He stabbed her multiple times with a knife despite my struggle to rescue her and my cries for help were also not noticeable due to heavy rain.”

The late Ummukulthum’s mother said that a passer-by overheard the scream in the room gained entrance to the room through the window and got hold of Chu. She said that the deceased was rushed to the hospital by people who came to rescue her and that she was eventually confirmed dead. Our correspondent gathered that the late Ummukulthum Sani was a youth corps member serving in Sokoto State before her demise.
