Frank Geng-Quangrong, a 47-year-old Chinese man who is on trial for culpable homicide, acknowledged on Thursday in front of the Kano High Court that he stabbed his 22-year-old Nigerian fiancée Ummukulsum Sani.
The Kano State Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs. Aisha Mahmoud, cross-examined the Chinese witness, who lives in Railway Quarters, Kano, and she claimed that the defendant and the deceased had a lot of history together.
Moreover, Geng-Quangrong testified before the court that he arrived in Nigeria in 2019 to work as a Marketing and Sales Manager at BBY Textile Company Kano. He added that he received a monthly salary of N1.5 million and ran a few other side ventures.
He said before the court that the dead pulled him onto the bed that fateful day, prompting him to stab her without intending to kill her.
“I wanted to take Ummukulsum to the hospital but the police quickly arrived and arrested me,” Geng-Quangrong claimed. “I escaped from the room through the window because the door was shut from the outside.”
