By Joseph Omoniyi
A 20-year-old housewife, Zulac Kabiru has been reprimanded by the police, for giving her 8-month-old step-daughter poison to drink. In Niger State.
According to reports, Kabiru fed the deceased with a substance locally known as ‘Ota Piapia’. The incident which occurred on Sunday, September 9, 2018, occurred following a disagreement with the mother of the deceased.
The deceased’s father, Kabiru Labbo, notified the police concerning the tragic event, which prompted her arrest.
.“I warned my husband against marrying another wife, but he didn’t listen. The second wife was in the habit of insulting and assaulting me at all times and one day I decided to poison her eight-month-old daughter to increase her sorrow; so that she will learn how to respect her superiors in the family.
“Before my husband married her, I kicked against the move. We have been living in peace but when she came, she divided the family. My husband gave her more attention and since then our family has been in shambles,” Zulac Kabiru was quoted.
Kabiru who acknowledged that her action was wicked, claimed she was pushed by the devil.
The police hopes to arraign her in court as soon as investigations have been completed.
