Daily Trust reports that the incident happened on Friday, December 16, 2017, at the couple's residence at Arkillar Liman area in Wamakko Local Government Area of the state after Muhammad was forced to marry Shehu by her family against her wish.
It was gathered that Shehu had gone to Muhammad's room to have sex with her as she had refused to allow him to sleep with her since their forced marriage but she was prepared for him and attacked him when he wanted to force himself on her.
