According to eyewitnesses, the woman was lynched by an angry crowd at Yan Robobi in Kofar Wambai market. Sources revealed that the woman did not belong to any association in the market, making it difficult for any of the traders to contact security operatives to avert the disaster before she was eventually hacked to death by the angry mob.
Apparently, hat the woman, who sold plastic wares, was in the company of her husband when she was brutally murdered. It is believed that the incident was said to have occurred when the market was preparing to close for the day’s business.
Eyewitnesses said the victim was accused of blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed during a religious argument, which ensued within the market. Subsequently, some youths armed with dangerous weapons, attacked and slit the woman’s throat to the chagrin of other traders in the market.
It was also learnt that the remains of the woman had been deposited at the morgue of the city's hospital, while investigation is in progress. Musa Magaji Majia, a spokesman for the Kano State Police Command, confirmed the incident.
