The police in Niger State recently apprehended Fatima Sani, 36, for stabbing her mother-in-law, Aishatu Umaru, 70, to death in the Mashegu Local Government Area of the state following a misunderstanding. Sani, who is pregnant, tells ENYIOHA OPARA her account of what happenedThe misunderstanding started on the day I got married to her son, Sani Umaru, in March 2009. His mother did not hide her objection to her son’s marriage to me.
Every small matter was easily amplified into a major issue, resulting in a quarrel and physical combat in many cases. She mounted pressure on her son to take another wife. She described me as a good-for-nothing woman so that her son would leave me for another woman. She even threatened to curse her son if he failed to end his union with me.I got married to my husband in 2009 and we have three children. I am six months pregnant now. I was living in peace with my husband’s two other wives.
What led to her death started when she accused me of calling my first son a bastard. I was shouting at my first son to go to Islamic school as he was almost late and the teacher would not tolerate that; even my mother-in-law was aware of it. She called my husband on the phone and said I was calling his son a bastard. Out of anger, my husband sent me out of the house without hearing from me and I went to stay in my father’s house for two months.
My mother-in-law had a pathological hatred for me; she swore that my marriage to her son would not work. Even my parents had reported the matter to our village head, telling him to contact my husband to find out from him if he was no longer interested in the marriage so that he could divorce me and I would be able to move on with my life.On April 23, 2020, around 3pm, something came upon me; I took a knife and went to her room. I saw her sleeping; she was on the bed with my third son, Naziro.
Of course I will because I have my children to look after. After all it has happened; all we have to do now is to find a way to move the family forward and pray to Allah to forgive everybody. It was a mistake; it can happen to anyone that is pushed to the wall like me.I know it is a murder case and I know the implications of what I did. The law can take its course.
