The Chinese Business Community Association of Nigeria (CBCAN) under the leadership of Wakilin Mutanen China, Kano, Mike Zhang, has reacted to the killing of Ummukhulsum Buhari Sani, popularly known as Ummita, by her 47-year-old Chinese lover identified as Mr Geng Quanrong.
In a statement released on Monday on behalf of Mr Zhang by his personal assistant, Mr Guag Lei Zhang, said this is a criminal act that should be handled by the security operatives.
He added that the people of China appreciate the hospitality received in Kano and will continue to be law-abiding, as well as contribute to the state’s development.
The assailant was arrested the night that he stabbed the lady.
However, the Chinese community backs the arrest of Mr Geng for killing his lover.
Ummita was killed on Friday night by Mr Geng at Janbulo Quarters in Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano State.
The mother of the 23-year-old Ummita said the Chinese man pushed her aside when she opened the door for him after he had knocked multiple times.
The distraught mother then rushed to the deceased’s room where he stabbed her with knife only to find her near lifeless body in a big pool of her own blood.
The remains of Ummita was buried on Saturday according to Islamic rites.
