A grieving husband shares the heartbreaking story of losing his wife during labor. His words paint a vivid picture of the financial struggles that many families face.

“If the economy were better, raising N500,000 wouldn’t have been so difficult. Despite working day and night, I couldn’t even boast of having N200,000 in my account. They said they had to remove the baby from her body, which would cost N150k. Then we had to buy burial clothes for another N20,000. Before we knew it, we had spent nearly N500,000 at the mortuary. Ironically, this was the same N500k that the hospital couldn’t wait for me to raise. In the end, we managed to raise it.”

Who is to be blamed? The grieving husband for not providing the money needed or the hospital? For demanding such amount before treatment?

A magistrate court in Kano has convicted two men for conspiracy and illegal tree felling, in violation of the state’s environmental laws.

The conviction was disclosed in a statement by the Kano State Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.

The defendants, Salihu Mukhtar and an accomplice, were sentenced on Thursday, July 17, 2025, by Justice Auwalu Yusuf of Court 2, Normasland, for cutting down a tree along Jigawa Road, Nasarawa GRA without authorization.

Prosecuting counsel, Barrister Bahijjah H. Aliyu, told the court that the defendants conspired to fell the tree illegally, breaching the Kano State Penal Code and Forestry Laws.

The court sentenced each to three months imprisonment or ₦20,000 fine for conspiracy, and six months imprisonment or ₦50,000 fine for illegal felling.

“The Ministry strongly condemns all acts of environmental vandalism, particularly illegal deforestation, which undermines the government’s efforts toward climate resilience, urban beautification, and improved air quality.” The statement partly reads.

The Commissioner for environment and climate change, Dr. Dahiru M. Hashim, reaffirmed the government’s zero-tolerance stance on deforestation. He urged the public to report environmental crimes to the appropriate channel.
