Okay.ng understands that Rashida is a teaching staff of the Federal college of education, Kano.
The Prosecution Counsel, Mariam Jilbrin had told the court that Mrs. Saidu engaged her husband in a fight at their residence in Dorayi Quarters about a year ago.
She added that during the fight, Saidu allegedly pushed the deceased down from a one storey building, which eventually led to his death.
During the trial, the prosecution produced four witnesses to prove their case against the suspect.

In his judgment, the presiding Judge, Justice A.T Badamasi ruled that the culprit is guilty of murder and thereby condemn her to death.
