Hafsat is standing trial on two count charge of Murder and attempt to commit suicide.

She pleaded not guilty to charges after confessing to the police that she singlehandedly stabbed multiple times on his body after he tried to stop her from committing suicide.

The three other defendants are facing a three-count charge bordering on criminal conspiracy, concealment of fact and false information.

Hafsat and her suspected accomplices were arraigned before Chief magistrate Hadiza Abdulrahman on Wednesday, December 27, 2023.
