It's heartbreaking! This is what happens when children are allowed to get married. The Police Command in Nasarawa State has arrested a 20-year-old housewife, Aisha Isah, for allegedly throwing into a well her two stepdaughters, Zainab 4, and Baaba 2, over a disagreement with the children’s mother.The Public Relations Officer of the command, DSP Kennedy Idirisu, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Lafia.
Idirisu said the suspect was arrested in Yelwan-Bassa village in Kokona Local Government Area following a report of the incident.
He said the suspect had confessed to the crime and expressed remorse over her action.
He said investigation revealed that Aisha, who is the second wife of Alhaji Isah, was always at loggerheads with the first wife, Maimuna, and that all efforts by their husband to settle their differences were unsuccessful.
The PPRO said Aisha claimed that the first wife was always instigating her children not to run errands for her, a development that infuriated her since she had no child of her own.
