20-year-old jealous housewife, Aisha Isah,
who reportedly threw her two step children Zainab and Ramatu aged 4 and
2 into the well, over a disagreement with their mother in Yelwabassa
village in Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, is begging
for forgiveness.
The lady who was arrested by the
Nasarawa State Police Command, had this to say on her long issue with
her co-wife in her 6-year-old marriage;
“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 reports that after
she confessed to her husband, he quickly went with a neighbor to report
the crime at the Garaku Police Station. The Deputy Commissioner of
Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Lafia,
Mr. Mohammed Akeera said that the suspect would be charged to court soon
for the alleged murder. However Aisha still has this to say;
“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.”
