The Katsina State Police Command has arrested a 20-year-old woman, Aisha Muktar Hassan, in connection with the alleged killing of her 97-year-old paternal grandmother in Daura Local Government Area of the state.
According to a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, the incident followed a domestic dispute between the suspect and the elderly woman on June 12, 2026.

She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment but was later pronounced dead by the attending doctor.
DSP Aliyu stated that police operatives responded swiftly to the scene, evacuated the victim for medical attention, and subsequently launched an investigation into the incident. During questioning, the suspect allegedly confessed to the offence and has since been taken into custody.
