In Nasarawa state, a 20-year-old jealous housewife has been arrested after throwing her stepchildren into the well.
The lady who was identified as Aisha Isah was reported to have drowned her stepchildren 4-year-old and 2-year-old Zainab and Ramatu in a well over a disagreement with their mother. This unfortunate incident was also said to have taken place in Yelwabassa village, Kokona local government area of the state. After being arrested by the police, Isah pleaded for forgiveness.
She explained that her co-wife is fond of embarrassing her in front of the children anytime she sends them on an errand. Isah added that, in her 6 years of marriage she has given birth to a child but died 6 months after.
Isah said: “It was the devil that used me. I took Ramatu, tied her two hands and legs and threw her into the well. In August 2017, I also took Zainab, tied her hands and legs and threw her into the well. After sometime I raised alarm, I shouted and attracted the attention of neighbours. My husband and the first wife rushed out. They asked what happened and I confessed immediately to them what I did. I have been having misunderstanding with my co-wife. She caused the problem. Whenever I sent the children on errand, she would tell them in my presence not to run errands for me. So, each time I called them, they ignored me. I decided to teach her children a lesson. I got married six years ago. I gave birth to a baby six months ago, but the baby died. Since then I had no baby and I have been telling Allah to give another baby.”
Sun also reports that, Isah immediately confessed the crime to her husband who ran to his neighbour to share the unfortunate incident. Through that the case was reported to the nearest police station where the commissioner of police, Mr Mohammed Akeera who began investigation and charged the woman with alleged murder.
Isah said: “With the enormity of what she did having hit home, a sense of remorse has overwhelmed Aisha and she pleaded. I want the family to forgive me for what I did; I have regretted my mistake and want my husband to forgive me.''
