The gruesome murder of 23-year-old Ummukulsum Sani Buhari (popularly known as Ummita) in Kano last Friday as well as the nature of the relationship between the victim and the suspect, Geng Quanrong, a Chinese national, has become the subject of an unending debate, Daily Trust reports.

Daily Trust had reported how the victim was stabbed to death by Quanrong, her lover, late Friday, but since the news broke, many allegations and counter-allegations have continued to surface on the sort of relationship that existed between the duo, who reportedly met in 2021 at a shopping mall in the city. Different persons including family and friends have also put forward different theories as to the reason for the killing.

Although the suspect was arraigned on Wednesday for culpable homicide before a magistrates’ court in the state metropolis and remanded in a custodial centre, the decision of the police not to parade him, contrary to the custom of Nigeria law enforcement agencies, has robbed the public the opportunity to immediately hear directly from the suspect.

But of the numerous and mostly conflicting narrations awash on social media since her death, what stood unrefuted was that the deceased, who was a divorcee, and the suspect were romantically involved. Family and friends of the deceased as well as prominent Islamic cleric, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, who said the deceased called him to ask for his advice on marrying a Chinese man, corroborated this.

However, some social media users have gone on to describe the relationship between the duo as such where the suspect had invested heavily with the hope that the deceased would marry him. Others, while attempting to situate the horror of last Friday as a crime of passion, had suggested that investments of the suspect included sponsoring her education, buying a house and a car for her, which they insinuated made him feel jilted when he realised he would not be allowed to marry her.

Daily Trust spoke with the immediate elder brother of the deceased and one of her best friends to get an insight into the love affair that existed between the suspect and the deceased.

The elder brother, Sadiq Sani Buhari, said contrary to rumour making the rounds that his sister was sponsored to school outside the country by the suspect, the deceased was a final year student of Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto, where she was studying B.Sc. Agricultural Science. He said but for the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), his sister would have been rounding off her academic pursuits and probably not in Kano for the crime to have been committed.

“Contrary to what people are saying, my sister hasn’t been to any other country, even the closest country, like the Niger Republic she hasn’t been there. So the talk of her being sponsored in a foreign institution by the suspect was just mischief,” he said.

On the type of relationship that existed between his late sister and the suspect, Buhari said “I knew him, he loved her so much, as you know people like them do love a person with all their heart. He even proposed to marry her, but the fact that we differ in our beliefs, it was hard for him to get her hand in marriage. So she was stopped from having any affair with him by our parents.”

He explained that his sister and the accused met in 2021 and as such the talk that the accused bought their family house for them was ridiculous because they had been in the house for over 10 years.

“How is it possible that a man my sister met just last year is the one that bought a house we have been occupying since 2011 for us?” he asked.

“We have lived here since before the death of our father. Our father was a civil servant, who worked with the DSS before his death. We relocated to Kano from Sokoto where Ummita was born around 2007 and he bought this house around 2011,” he added.

Buhari admitted that the suspect was generous to his sister but not to the extent being insinuated on social media.

“Of course, he bought things for her, and gave her money; that, I know. But even the phone she was using, she bought it herself. The talk that he bought a car for her was nothing other than mischief. We don’t even have a car at home nor does my sister have a car but knew how to drive a car as she usually drives her friends’ cars,” he said.

Buhari added that he was shocked when he learnt of what happened to his sister “because she was the last person I talked to before leaving the house. I call on the authorities concerned to look into the matter and ensure we get justice as there will be nothing to compensate for her.”

Corroborating most of the points of Buhari, Rabia N. Garba, who described herself as the best friend of the deceased, further revealed that because of the “strong” love the suspect had for her friend, he “converted” to Islam and adopted Faisal as against Frank, which they knew him as.

“With the little I know of him, he is a person who gets frustrated over silly things; even late replies while chatting gets him frustrated. My friend made all efforts to stop him from falling for her but she later decided to date him because he claimed to have reverted to Islam,” Rabia told Daily Trust in an interview earlier in the week.

She said when her friend got married in February, the suspect agreed to leave her alone but after the marriage hit the rocks, he came back into her life.

Rabia suggested that her friend did not want the relationship to go ahead even after her divorce.

But while what led to the brutal stabbing to death of Ummita remains unclear, the narration of the mother of the deceased pointed to a premeditated crime.

“He (the suspect) always comes around wanting to see her and she has been refusing. This time around when he came, he kept knocking on the door. When I was fed up with him hitting the door loudly, I opened the door and he pushed me aside and got in and started stabbing her with a knife,” the bereaved mother had said.

Too bad, there's no justification for killing her, he will face the full wrath of the law.

But our ladies should be very careful the way and manner they handle relationship issues nowadays, it's not cool at all.

Don't make any promise you will later renege on, some people don't have the presence of mind to handle that feeling of betrayal and the anguish that comes with it.

. investments of the suspect included sponsoring her education, buying a house and a car for her

. He even proposed to marry her, but the fact that we differ in our beliefs, it was hard for him to get her hand in marriage.

So, the difference in belief didn't stop the girl and her family from collecting the man's money and gifts

When you dey chop the man money you didn't remember he's not of the same belief with you?

This is what Nigerian men go through in the hands of these demons, but , they should always remember, not every man is as gentle and passionate like Nigerian men.

I pray God should forgive her and let her soul rest in peace.

Full story!

We need to be careful o

Don't be any careful..just desist from accepting gifts and money from any man you have no intention of loving. A word is enough for a fool.

This is emotions taken to another level. Unfortunately, once dead is dead. The man may be regretting his actions but it is too late to cry when the head is already off.

1. The house is a family house built by their father in 2011, she met Chinko last year so house wasn't bought by Chinko.
2. There's no car in their house, she doesn't own a car.
3. She is alleged to have been sponsored in a University abroad but she is a student at Sokoto and has never been out of Nigeria.
They admitted she collected gifts and money which is almost a normal thing in relationahips.

You're slow if you believed all that rubbish the brother said. The police should parade the man and allow the press interview him, you'll be amazed .

Men should stop having sex with them and enjoying their bodies. You have sex with a woman but complaining about your gifts to her.
If you are not compartible, go your seperate ways.
I know one Igbo neigbbour who did a big Igbo traditional wedding. The guy is hot tempered and hits for the slightest reason. The lady could only endure for 6 months before fleeing. Now, he is demanding for his bride price amongst others or the lady should return but the family refused both.
The lady was brought from the East and wasn't too aware of the extent of his temper. Can we blame her and family for collecting gifts?

Both parties enjoy sex. How many women gift men for having sex with them?

You are the slow one for believing things without the press conference.
How can someone lie that they have being living in a house since 2011? Where is the proof of her abroad school? Her School and department in Nigeria is mentioned, let the University deny her. Where is picture of the car on Social Media? Which lady even owns a car without snapping with it?
They dated and she collected gifts and money, they didn't deny that.

23 years and already a divorcee , what is wrong with the North

She's dead already. All these rubbish won't bring her back alive.

The girl, her family's longer throat and quest to defraud the chinese led to her death. End of!

You can't deny it is not men that always make move for sex. Stop giving what you can't afford to lose to anybody you are not married to. Period!

So, the one who makes move for sex should be the one to train the other that enjoyed the sex more

This your thinking is too shallow. In the medieval era, anyone caught thinking this way is usually stoned to death.

Did you read what I wrote up there? A man went to take a wife from the East, he beats and beats until she left after 6 months. He wants dowry or comeback but declined cos they no longer have his money. Can we blame them for collecti g gifts and long throats? It is not in every case that it is long throat. Most foreigners always go back home to take wives, they only date their hosts in most cases and flee to their countries after their mission.

@23 Years and she us a Divorcee This matter eehh should be well investigated

You said no Press conference, where is the proof of the sponsorship you are talking about? They said she was sponsored in a University abroad but the brother said she is still a student in the North and at home due to ASUU strike. What is the name of the school she was sponsored abroad?

Are you the wife from the East?

Dowry/Bride price is not gift. It's a tradition. Bride price is what signifies your marriage to a lady.

There will be no return of dowry IF the man is the cause of the discontinued marriage.

Stop running like a mouse in a cubicle.

The girl would have been alive had she and her family curtailed their longer throat.

All these happened cos the father of the house is deceased. The father will never condone his 23 year-old- daughter under his tutelage to roll with a 50 year-old Chinese of different belief cos of money and gifts.

But your block head knows Regina's father was alive when she and the mother were collecting gifts? Where was Chioma's father when she was collecting gifts and travelling about with Davido?
Where is the proof of the abroad School and what's the name of the school?

You can't tell lies that you have being living in a house since 2011 because your neighbours and friends will prove you wrong. He mentioned the name of a school, let the school counter him.

Regina's father was against the whole thing. But, Regina and her mother being too wise accepted Ned's marriage proposal despite his religion... The reason she's still alive today enjoying herself and her marriage.

Ned tricked them into a shrine and oath wedding, that is why she relaxec. She denied Ned. Neither Ned nor Regina is practicing Islam.

This is all damage control.

Maybe the Chinko's financial support was exaggerated but it's a plain fact that they were mercilessly fleecing him thinking they were smart.

How did he know the layout of the house to the extent he went straight to her room?

I have seen many beautiful women who take advantage of their looks to bleed men... a girl can take money, travel down and then say she's menstruating. Rape is bad and is NEVER justifiable but some evil men set them up for gangrape because of " investing without returns"

I always tell ladies. NEVER take gifts from someone you're not interested in. Maintain some dignity.

See the ugly malnourished Chinko...Tueh Tueh
