A 20-year-old woman, identified as Aisha Aliyu, has reportedly slaughtered her husband, Idris Ahmadu, at Nasarawa village in Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State.

Naija News learnt that the couple who got married on December 31, 2023, got involved in a heated argument on Sunday evening before the tragic incident happened around 1 am on Monday.

One of the sources who spoke to Daily Trust said the couple had a little misunderstanding, and they were reconciled before going to bed, until midnight when the mother of the deceased heard him screaming.

The source said the wife had first stabbed the husband on his chest before she eventually slaughtered him, and they are unaware of her whereabouts.

He said, “When the mother came out alongside other residents, they saw him in a pool of blood. He tried to run out of room but he fell at the doorstep. But up till now, we don’t know the whereabouts of his wife.”

Asked if it was a forced marriage, the source said the couple had been in a relationship for years, but before the wedding date was fixed, Aisha had a change of mind to marry someone else.

He added, “But even with that, issues were resolved. They started this relationship right from secondary school and they had been together. Before the marriage, she said she was no longer interested in the relationship, but the issue was resolved and she agreed eventually, not knowing that this was her plan. She said she had a new suitor.” 

Confirming the incident, the Niger State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, said efforts are underway to arrest the fleeing suspect.

He said, “Today, 12/02/2024 (Monday), at about 1200hrs, information was received that in the early hours, one Idris Ahmadu of Nasarawa village, via Lapai, was stabbed to death by his wife, Aisha Aliyu, 19/20yrs of the same address.

“Before the arrival of the police at the scene, the suspect had fled to an unknown destination, while effort is being intensified to arrest the fleeing suspect. Case under investigation please.”

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has said it has no plans to tax skitmakers, influencers and other digital content creators.

Naija News recalls that the Special Adviser on Media to the chairman of the FIRS, Dare Adekambi, was quoted as saying that social media content creators and influencers constituted a major block of tax evaders.

He said content creators and influencers constitute a significant block of tax evaders, adding that a law in Nigeria requires everybody who earns income to pay tax.

Adekambi stressed that the FIRS would meet with content creators and influencers and make them see why they should voluntarily pay tax.

But an official of the agency who spoke to NAN anonymously on Monday, said skit makers are individuals who do not fall within the purview of the FIRS.

The FIRS official stated that the agency does not tax Personal Income Tax but only collects Company Income Tax.

He said: “FIRS does not tax Personal Income Tax; State governments do.

“FIRS collects Company Income Tax. Only those who are corporate names and earn profit of N25 million and more are required to pay tax.”
