A tragic incident has rocked the Riyal Anti Kalare neighborhood in Gombe city, where a woman identified as Fauziyya reportedly died after being poisoned by her co-wife.
Local sources say the act was allegedly motivated by jealousy over their shared husband. The suspect is reported to have laced Fauziyya’s food with a poisonous substance known locally as “Gidigam.” Unaware of the deadly plot, Fauziyya consumed the meal and later died.
Eyewitnesses and community members indicated that tensions between the co-wives had been escalating due to rivalry for their husband’s attention and affection.
A local source, Ismail Abubakar Maisalati, stated that the victim’s death has left behind grieving family members, including her husband and children, who must now cope with the loss.
Community members have called for justice, praying for Fauziyya and urging authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
