Suspected phone snatchers alleged kill nurse in Zaria


A nurse with Gambo Sawaba General Hospital, Kofar Gayan, Zaria, has been killed by suspected phone snatchers while returning home from work.

The victim, identified as Hadiza Musa, was the deputy head of the hospital’s maternity unit. 

She was attacked around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday near Filin Mallawa, Tudun Wada, Zaria.

Her husband, Hamza Ibrahim Idris, who works in Abuja, said his wife had called earlier to inform him she was going to the salon and an Islamic chemist before heading home. 

“That was our last conversation. I tried calling her afterward, but her phone was unreachable,” he said.

According to him, the attackers, riding in a tricycle, attempted to snatch her phone and hit her on the head. “There were bruises on her hands, showing she tried to hold on to her phone,” Idris said.

Her body was later found dumped by the roadside near Mallawa Eid Ground. She was rushed to Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika, where doctors confirmed her death.

Police are yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
