Hajiya Fatima Masussuka has recounted how she discovered that her husband, Sheikh Yahaya Ibrahim Masussuka, had been shot after she briefly returned inside their home to retrieve his forgotten bag.
The Islamic cleric was killed by gunmen on Monday evening in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area of Katsina State, according to a report by Punch Newspaper on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
Speaking to journalists at their residence on Tuesday, Fatima said her husband had been preparing to leave for his usual teaching session with his Almajirai, the Islamic pupils under his instruction.
She explained that she accompanied him outside the house before he realised he had forgotten his bag. She then went back inside to get it, leaving him outside as he prepared to leave.
Fatima said she suddenly heard gunshots while indoors. When she came outside to find out what had happened, she discovered that her husband had been shot.
Recounting the moments before the attack, the widow said, “My name is Fatima. I felt very bad. I accompanied him outside the house so he could go to where he teaches his students, the Almajirai, but I returned inside because he had forgotten his bag.
“Before I knew what was happening, I heard four gunshots. When I came out, I discovered that he had been shot.”
