A suspected case of infidelity ended in bloodshed in Kaduna State on May 17, 2025, after a 23-year-old woman allegedly stabbed her boyfriend during a heated dispute.
The incident took place in the Sabon Tasha area, where Abigail Victor confronted her partner, Dominic James, over allegations of unfaithfulness.
According to the police, the confrontation took a dark turn when Abigail summoned two of her friends to join her.
The three reportedly barged into Dominic’s home and assaulted him, with Abigail allegedly plunging a knife into his shoulder during the fracas.
Nearby residents, alarmed by the noise, intervened and helped transport Dominic to the hospital for medical treatment.
Following the attack, Abigail and her companions were taken into police custody.
Authorities have charged her with conspiracy and inflicting grievous bodily harm—crimes that, under the Kaduna State Penal Code Law of 2017, carry significant prison sentences.
The case has reignited discussions around domestic violence and the growing trend of relationship-related assaults among young people in the region.
