A fifteen-year-old housewife in Katsina State, Dausiya
Abdulmuminu, has been arrested by the Katsina Police Command for allegedly
poisoning her husband, Samilu Usman, 27, and her half-brother, Mohammed
Abdulmuminu, to death.
Spokesman of the Command, Gambo Isah, confirmed the incident to
reporters yesterday, adding that Dausiya was being detained at the Bakori
Police Division.
It was learnt that Dausiya allegedly committed the offence on
December 18, this year at Dan Mayaki village in Bakori Council of the state.
According to a source familiar with the incident, the housewife,
on that faithful day, allegedly laced her husband’s meal with poison.
Two other persons, he said, including Dausiya’s half-brother and
her husband’s younger sister, Shafaatu Usman, 23, joined the husband to eat the
meal.
The source added that shortly after the meal, the trio began to
complain of severe stomachache. Both the husband and Dausiya’s half brother
reportedly died while being rushed to the Funtua General Hospital.
Shafaatu was, however, lucky to survive, as she was later
treated and discharged from the hospital.
According to Isah: “The husband and Dausiya’ s half-brother were
brought to the hospital dead. Shafaatu survived it.
“She was treated and discharged. Our investigation is still
going on in respect of the incident.’’
It was learnt that Dausiya allegedly poisoned the husband’s meal
because she was pregnant for another man and did not want him to know.
But another version of the incident had it that Dausiya’ s uncle
betrothed her to the late husband, who she never loved.
Sources said the late husband was involved in a motor accident
just two weeks after their wedding, which made him to become deformed.
