A twenty-two year-old
housewife, Harela Uba, has been arrested for allegedly killing the 3-day-old
baby boy of her husband’s second wife in Shakodna, Niger State.
She was arrested after
their husband, Uba Saidu, reported the matter to the police.
According to him, his
second wife, Fa’iza, had gone to the bathroom and left her three-day-old baby
boy in her room, but when she returned, she discovered white foam coming out
from his mouth.
He was immediately rushed
to General Hospital, Kuta, where he was confirmed dead. The Police then invited
Harela, who is eight-month pregnant, for questioning, being the only one at
home when the incident happened.
Upon interrogation, the
suspect confessed to giving her 7-year-old daughter, Khadija, a poisonous
substance to administer on the child.
