A newlywed identified as Dan Gaske Mai Masara has reportedly been ki-lled by his wife just three days after their wedding in the Tashar Aibo area of Jibia Local Government, Katsina State.

Residents said the tragedy happened on Sunday while the man was taking an afternoon nap. His wife allegedly attacked him with a knife, inflicting a deep cut on his neck.

A neighbour shared the account online, warning people about staying in toxic relationships.
One associate wrote: If you are in an unhealthy relationship or marriage, quit it now. If you allow anything to happen to you, you caused it yourself and nothing might happen thereafter! This man married this woman on 18/11/2025 and she used a knife to slaughter him on 23/11/2025 when he was sleeping in the afternoon as posted by his associate. The best we can do now is to pray for his departed soul to find Allah’s mercy. A word is said to be enough for the wise. Ours is to always give advice not because we know better but because we care.

Security agencies have yet to release an official report on the case.
