young man, Yari Inusa, has died while
competing with another suitor for a lady’s
hand in marriage.
The incident happened at Durmin Biri village,
in the Kafur Local Government Area of Katsina
State.
Police sources said the man died following
injuries he sustained on the head when he
engaged in a Fulani traditional game of Sharo
with another man, Ahmed Saidu, to determine
who would marry the lady.
Sharo game entails two male suitors flogging
each other for a woman’s hand in marriage.
Whoever wins between them will marry the
girl.
Inusa had reportedly flogged Saidu without
any incident, but tragedy struck when it was
the turn of Saidu to flog Inusa.
Saidu allegedly hit Inusa on the head, instead
of hitting him on the back as the rules of the
game dictates.
Inusa was said to have fainted after he was hit
on the head; and eventual died.
The Katsina State Police Command
spokesman, DSP Gambo Isah, confirmed the
incident.
He said, “Inusa’s father, Mallam, reported the
incident to the police, leading to the arrest of
Saidu.”
He said Inusa’s corpse had been released to
the family and buried according to Islamic
rites.
