14-year-old Kano housewife kills brother-in-law to punish Mother-in-law

A 14-year-old housewife, Nafida, in Kano has
murdered her brother-in-law to punish her
husband’s mother for sending out of her
son’s house and encouraging him to divorce
her.
The incident occurred last week in Dawanau,
in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of
the state.
After killing the 10-year-old younger brother
of her husband, she further threw his corpse
inside a deep well.
According to reports, the accused abducted
the 10-year-old boy from Dawanau and took
him to Dambatta from where she committed
the gruesome act. Having accomplished her
revenge mission, she used the phone of a
friend to put a call to her former mother in-
law, intimating her that she would never get
back her son.
Police Public Relations Officer, A. S. P
Magaji Majiya, who confirmed the incident
said
“When the police from Dawaki Tofa Division,
who were investigating the crime arrived
Dambatta, they discovered that the members
of the Dambatta community had previously
briefed the ward head of the discovery of a
strange corpse, who himself had reported the
matter to the police station there.
“The police had taken the corpse to the
morgue by this time and when the family was
called upon to identify the corpse in the
hospital, they found the mystery corpse to be
that of the missing 10-year-old boy.”
The case has since been taken over by the
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of
the police in Kano.
