Mother died in Abuja while separating sons during a brawl

Zainab Ibrahim, who was trying to break up a disagreement between her kids Inusa and Usman, passed away in the process.

Although the exact reason for the altercation was unknown, Inusa is rumored to have accidentally macheted her mother on the left hand.

The event took place on Saturday in Abuja’s Federal Capital Territory’s Kpaduma II neighborhood of Asokoro.

Zainab was transported to a private hospital, where she passed away, according to a local resident who went by the name Saliu Shehu.

He said, “The two brothers are of the same parents. They were engaging in a serious fight. Their mother came in and tried to separate them. Inusa, however, left and went to bring a machete with which he intended to use on his brother in the process, he mistakenly cut his mother on her left hand. She was taken to a private hospital where she died.”

When contacted, Josephine Adeh, the FCT command’s spokesman, stated that Inusa was at large and that the case was still under investigation.

She said, “We received a distress call and rushed to the scene. The mother was taken to the hospital where she was confirmed dead. Usman is in custody while Inusa is at large. An investigation is, however, ongoing on the matter.”
