Wasila Umaru, a 14-year old bride has allegedly killed her 35-year-old husband, Umaru Sani, and three others in Ungwar Maisoro, Gaya Local Government Area of Kano State, with a rat poison which she administered on the food she served the victim and 14 of his friends.
Spokesman of the Kano State Police Command, ASP Musa Magaji Majiya, who revealed this at a press conference yesterday, said 14-year-old Wasila reportedly bought the rodent pesticide known in local parlance as Shinkafa Bera, at a village market for N8.
The unsuspecting husband and three of his friends were said to have eaten the poisonous food and gave up the ghost in the process.
Two of the friends, Nasiru Mohammed and Alhassan Alhassan of Yansoro Kademi, died on the spot, while the other female victim, Indo Ibrahim, lost her life at the hospital.
The ten others who ate the food alongside the deceased were treated and discharged at the hospital.
Wasila confessed to the act, justifying it on the ground of forced marriage.
"On 5/4/2014 at about 22;00hrs, an information was received at Gaya Division that one Wasila Umaru, 14 years old, of Yansoro Kademi, Gaya LGA, Kano, bought rodenticides (Shinkafa Bera) and diluted it into her husband’s food. The suspect confessed to the act and claimed that because she does not love her husband, she resorted to taking this option. Corpses were taken to hospital for examination. Investigation is on top gear,” the police spokesman said.
