A 62-year-old woman, Ayinda Dauda, was fatally stabbed in Kurmin Gwari, Kaduna South Local Government Area, by a wheelbarrow pusher who regularly helped her on market days.
The tragic incident took place around 12:30 p.m. on Friday, September 12, and was made public by security analyst Zagazola Makama via his X handle on Saturday.
Eyewitnesses said the suspect attacked Ayinda Dauda with a knife, stealing her money, mobile phone, and other valuables before fleeing the scene.
She was rushed to A.P. Smart Hospital, where doctors later confirmed her death. Her family declined a post-mortem and requested her body be released for burial.
The police have launched an investigation and are working to apprehend the fleeing suspect.
