Woman poisoned co-wife’s baby with acid in Kaduna
A woman has been arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command for allegedly killing her co-wife’s three-month-old baby boy.
The suspect, Zaliha Shuaibu, of Malari Village in the Soba Local Government Area of Kaduna state, was charged with carrying out the crime at their home, where both wives reside.
According to the police’s initial investigation, Maryam Ibrahim, the baby’s mother, had left her infant son in her room while she went to the toilet.
She returned to find her co-wife, Zaliha, cradling the baby, who had been injured to his neck and had froth leaking from his mouth. After being taken to the hospital right away, the doctor declared the infant dead.
When the child died, Zaliha was taken into custody by the police right away.
During questioning, the woman confessed to the killing and disclosed that she had plotted with Lawal Muhammad, the husband’s younger brother, who gave her the acid she used to kill the baby, according to the police.
Rabiu Muhammad, the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, has promised the public that justice will be done and that all suspects discovered to have participated in the horrible crime will face the full force of the law after the suspect’s confession.
