The Niger State Police
Command has arrested a 55-year-old woman, Aisha Ibrahim, for allegedly killing
her two-year-old grandchild at Karaya Fulani Camp in Rafi Local Government Area
of the state.
Aisha reportedly tied the
girl with a rope and threw her inside the well in their compound.
According to Punch, the
suspect who was at loggerheads with her daughter-in-law, committed the crime
when her son, Bello Ibrahim, and his wife left the child in her custody.
Confessing to the crime,
the suspect said, “I told my husband to tell his son to divorce his wife but he
did not listen to me. My daughter-in-law is fond of insulting and assaulting me
all the time and the only way I could pay her back was to tie her daughter with
the rope and throw her inside a well to die so that she will equally feel the
pains and agony I have been going through.
“We have been living in
peace as one big family before my son married her; I have 12 children and all
of us are living in one compound; she cannot come from somewhere to destroy the
family I have suffered for years to keep, it is unacceptable,” she explained.
Asked if she felt any
remorse for allegedly killing her grandchild, Aisha said, “It was temptation, I
didn’t know when I did it, I can’t just tell but may Allah forgive me.
Honestly, it was a wicked act that can never be accepted anywhere in the world.”
Confirming the incident,the
Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, told Punch that the suspect
had confessed to the crime and regretted her action.
Abubakar said she would be
arraigned in court after investigation.
