Nigerian child bride poisons husband & three of his friends in Kano

A 14 year old child bride who was forced into
marriage in Kano last week, has reportedly
killed her new husband and three of his
friends with rat poison.
Wasila Umaru was forced to marry to 35 year
old Umaru Sani sometime last week. During
the small wedding which took place in the
northern Ungwar Yansoro village, at Gaya
LGA near the city of Kano, the reluctant bride
allegedly slipped rat poison into a rice dish
that was eaten by the groom and some of his
friends.
According to Kano State Police Command,
ASP Musa Majiya, the groom, one Nasiru
Mohammed, Alhassan Alhassan, and a woman
named Indo Ibrahim died after eating the
meal. Continue...
Wasila eventually confessed to buying the
poison known locally as Shinkafa Bera at the
market for N8 and putting it in the food.
'The suspect confessed to committing
the crime and said she did it because
she was forced to marry a man she did
not love, she resorted to taking this
option. Corpses were taken to hospital
for examination. Investigation is on top
gear," Majia said.
Umaru is cooperating with police and will be
charged with culpable homicide, according to
Majia.
