Kano state Government has filed a fresh charge of culpable
homicide punishable by death against 14 year old child bride, Wasila
Tasiu, who in April 2014 allegedly poisoned her 35 year old husband, Umar Sani and
three of his friends in Kano, 17 days after she was forced to marry him. According to Vanguard, the fresh charge was filed following an outcry

Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice reads "Application

Laws of Kano State which delegate powers, I do hereby seek, under
Criminal Procedure Code, to charge for trial of Wasila Tasiu”.

ReplyDeleteI wonder what is wrong with our northern brothers, why should a girl of 14yrs be given out in marriage, at 14 she is meant to be in SS1 or Jss3, up to 90% of women in the north suffer VVF, they they know the curse of the disease is early child birth. Please give her pen and biro, not penis oooooo. # freewasilanow.
Mr anonymous ima northerner and I'm so with you on this. I mean what do they even expect from her??? It serves them daidai!!

ReplyDeleteBunch of perverts.
Since nothing is done to her danger who married off a child in the first place.
I think the parent should be held responsible for the action of the girl ,,,,
She is just a child.

ReplyDeleteI'm always at,lost for words when ever this particular issue is brought to the fore.
ReplyDeleteAlways remind me of the case of a lady whom the former attorney general of the Fed Aondoaka helped secure her release, after spending many years in the prison for bathing her husband and his lover with acid, after she was forced to stay in the same room and watch them make out.
Its quite a pitiable situation.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Nawa for these Hausa men oh hasn't she begged for forgiveness!and what were you thinking giving her penis instead of pencil
ReplyDeleteNo criminal shall go unpunished...she s a killer n deserves to die
ReplyDeleteFuck you stupid bastard. She's a child being molested by an old bastard that can't find grown mature woman mature woman to marry. And I blame the idiot parents. I think d parents should be d ones charged and not d child. The stupid they took her child hood away and they paid for it
DeleteU are a goat. Anu mpa.
DeleteBoko haram that are killing and raping everyday nko? Those are the ones that should not go unpunished... the poor girl was trying to secure her freedom! Do you know how painful sex is for a minor? It is terrible!!!
DeleteNa wa o and is sharia law dey might use dis naama's and deir style of doing tins ***sigh***
ReplyDeleteNoooo....this will be too wicked! Afterall the man was torturing her and for God sakes she is a minor.
ReplyDelete14 year old girl?.....and they want to kill her...I am absolutely disgusted.
Dondumex.com
So if they leave this 'Kano govt or whoever is behind Kano govt, they will carry stones and stone this girl to death? Bunch o hypocrites!
ReplyDeleteEhya... I feel for her o. Dey shuld at least consider wat d girl was goin thru to av made her resolved to dat. Forcing a 14yr old girl into marriage is not gud either. Its traumatic
ReplyDeleteIf I say what's on my mind about this bullshit issue nigeria will scatter. . Jopeyemi@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe decision is theirs to make. E no
ReplyDeleteConcern me.. Killing is in thier doctrine already..
Whatever they wish
ReplyDeleteWow! They shud have mercy upon dis gurl now....kai!
ReplyDeleteHmm for them,forgiveness is a sin no matter the age of the culprit.I'm sure even aa mad man will be tried talk more of a sane teenager.Pathetic!
ReplyDeleteThey should go and find the boko haram leaders and sentence them to death for the thousand of lives that they have killed. Poor girl. *what is going on?*
ReplyDeleteI think dis aboki ppl are faulty ooooo..haba #Tslicky
ReplyDeleteStupid set of animals... why marry a small girl to an adult in d first place... Barbarism called religion.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely don't get what's happening in d North. Scary place by d day
ReplyDeleteFirstly, that governor must be one of the perverts..; I hope all his 14yr old daughters are also married off to old men as himself.
ReplyDeleteWhat the girl did should make any sensible responsible individual to stop those ish abt marrying off *kids..; she's a minor and is to be let off with a warning.
* My R1.50c comment *
This is why God use anger dey purnish them for that north. See d kind bulshit they're doing there. Devils. Molest and kill a children for many many years and nobody in this our useless country says anything. Naija( hell on earth).
DeleteOk ooo
ReplyDeleteWhy were some of the husband's friends so young? 35 year old man having 11 and 12 year old male friends. Was he molesting those kids as well? The girl can be rehabilitated. She's young. Don't kill her.
ReplyDeleteAlright #bright bravo#
ReplyDeleteEhyaa God pls come for her rescue
ReplyDeleteHaaa! Wot a sad tin to hear!
ReplyDeleteMamafunkky@gmail.com
It is well...lindodo hope u went to church
ReplyDeleteIts more of self defense against being forced into early and unwanted marriage. She can't be killed
ReplyDeleteReally! House shameless can this people get?
ReplyDeletePoor Girl
ReplyDeleteKano state wants to kill a 14th year old kid who thought murder was only her viable option to escape a forced marriage? Why doesn't that surprise me? When evil men hide behind the cloak of religion to perpetrate all sorts of evil!
ReplyDeleteAre the people in Kano state Government not educated? What kind of people make up these governments in the North IN GENERAL AND KANO IN PARTICULAR or are they looking for the attention of the 'Western World'.Why do we all belong to the same country? For goodness sake, these people should get an education. I have met Muslims in New York , the U.K and even from the middle east and they do not think this way. This girl is 14. Why do these people always want us to talk? This is what builds animosity IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA towards Muslims in Northern Nigeria. Even Muslims from the South West do not think this way. Have Muslims in the northern state govts such as Kano tried to find out what the root cause of the problem is and decide to analyze this? Have they not seen that marrying a child off is an atrocity and that certain cultures should be changed. Mary Slessor came to Nigeria in the 1800s and found out that killing twins was cultural in certain ethnic groups and enforced change. Culture can be changed through education and evidence based social research.The president has the power to enforce positive change with evidence. I blame Obasanjo for not being bold with Sharia. Even hearing some so called Northern Nigerian elites talk is cringe-worthy. Now is the time for the Emir of Kano,Sultan of Sokoto and other prominent Northern Nigerian leaders to come out and say- 'Enough is enough. Stop making us look foolish and stupid'. A regional law should be set up to protect Northern Muslim girls in every way. Shame on Kano state if this story is true . If it is not true, protection groups of so called Muslim elites who have an education and are exposed should arise and take action regarding women and children's rights. If this Nigerian government had been bold and the people of Northern Nigeria had been positively futuristic in their thinking separating religion from their government , Boko Haram would not have been in existence today for a fact! I once watched Obasanjo claiming Nigeria to be a religious country and that he would rather deal with a religious person than an atheist.I wonder why such a religious country is now a laughing stock of non religious countries. Nigeria is a HYPOCRITICAL country. Substitute that for religion and then we could stop living a lie.
ReplyDeleteMy God, pls from ur merciful power help us set this poor girl free o. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
ReplyDeleteKano state with all its exposure is stii as backward as this. Have any of the judges ever paused to think of the pain the child passed tru for 17 nights in the hand of her foolish husband. I thank God he wll never be around to defile her again
ReplyDeleteYou see! Why did they have to force her to into marriage, now she's gonna be sentence to death! Wicked practice, is this even Godly? Because if someone force me to marry @ that tender age I might have done the same
ReplyDeleteKill am na today una start to killed everything kill
ReplyDeleteDia is God oooooo ehisarthur@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteShe deserves to die too (alexjame940@yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteAnd you want Linda's money?
DeleteSorry, you can't get it
Northern men are Pedophiles (most) that is why they want to kill the poor girl. mtcheeeew. Have you all forgotten yerima?
ReplyDeleteShedding of human blood is nothing to an average northerner. Abeg, make they free the girl, she's a minor.
ReplyDeleteBoko haram kills thousands they are looking for amnesty. A desperate little girl kills some paedophiles they are forming activity. Hiss. They should leave her alone and go and sort out boko haram. Backward fools
ReplyDeleteKano state Government should be ashamed of themselves. What nonsense. They should be counseling the child so she gets over the sexual abuse that she must have experienced following the marriage and not trying her for murder.
ReplyDeleteI hope this type of death becomes the faith of all the other goats that marry children in this country and beyond.
Although, no ignorant to crime,remember she is still a minnor,I believe is out of fustration of the marriage and she wanted kill the man, unfotunatly the man's friends ate with him. They should be careful in judging her.

ReplyDeleteOk na
ReplyDeleteXDON D DON
This 35 yr old man deserved to be killed, he must have probably raped this small girl who has turned into an adult overnight and killed. This girl is the victim and should be given help, and those demanding death penalty for a 14yr old, may their children be taken away from them for child slavery.
ReplyDeleteMuslims sef...when the issue of child marriage was brought upon they supported it, now this is d consequence.. For God sake how would u force 14yr girl to marry a man as old as her father? Marriage is not by force.. I guess the girl is tired and frustrated that's why she acted in that manner
ReplyDelete..47 Year Old Mother Stabs School Teacher To Death In Front Of Pupils.Click to View
Her parents should be ashamed and regretful for putting their child, whom they vowed to protect, in this kind of situation. May this be an example to the law makers that things need to change. The child bride law is disgusting.
ReplyDeletePathetic on one hand and laughable on the other. Imagine the extent of personal agony that would have emboldened a 14year old girl to take the lives of others. We can not claim to be 21st century world citizens and continue to hold fast to certain religious or cultural practices that diminishes self-dignity. Obviously she was forced into the union on the premise of religious or cultural demands and now she's chosen an unlawful way to ventilate her dissatisfaction. Anyway, let the law take pre-eminence.
ReplyDeleteIF THE KANO STATE GOVT. SANCTIONS DEATH SENTENCE FOR THIS GIRL AND NOBODY DOES ANYTHING,THEN THE NORTHERNS HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND ASARI DOKUBO WILL BE CORRECT THAT THE MISSING CHIBOK GIRLS IS A SCAM. JUST SAYING...........
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteGo watch Travis and judith on youtube. This girl is a typical nigerian who marries a white American. Go check her out
When they forced a baby into marrying a man old enough to be her father, what were they expecting????
ReplyDeleteThat she lets him rape her continously for life?
How in the world do these Muslims think?
A little girl that is supposed to be In high school, enjoying her innocence.
why didn't that perv marry a matured adult??
And just how merciful is this almighty ALLAH, that every act is punishable by death sentence???
I need a muslim to explain things to me cos am angry much.
for a child!!!
ReplyDeletethat government is wicked
Y didn't each nd everyone of "em give out dia child @14..nw dey can file cases #nonsense of a no sense

ReplyDeleteThey must not try it. Why the double standards???
Wasila Tasiu must be set free immediately.
Kano State Government have never publicly asked for death penalty against BOKO HARAM and their SPONSORS.
BOKO HARAM and their SPONSORS killed more people than Ms Wasila Tasiu allegedly did. Those same evil tyrants called for penalties against her have never held any BOKO HARAM murderer accountable for the thousands of people that have been killed by BOKO HARAM and their SPONSORS. BOKO HARAM and their SPONSORS should NOT be above the law.
The Federal Government must scuttle the evil plans of Kano oligarchy and intervene and set Wasila Tasiu free. Wasila Tasiu should be pardoned. Wasila Tasiu should be transferred immediately to Lagos State and relocated to the United Kingdom. She will be granted political asylum in UK. Wasila Tasiu should be helped to escape the evil clutches of the satanic mafia criminals in charge in Kano State.
Free Wasila Tasiu.
Jail the following people for two hundred years:
Ali Modu Sheriff,
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,
Atiku Abubakar,
Muhammadu Buhari,
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida,
Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa,
El Rufai (rotten, corrupt, self-centred, lover of Boko Haram, proud dwarf, aspiring tall person and public nuisance, ... oh, and he runs a covert hateful, malicious & negative media campaigns to sabotage Goodluck Jonathan administration").
Every APC leader may not be a BOKO HARAM sponsor or a crook, but there is something crooked in every APC leader. APC leaders are lizards. Nigeria needs a crocodile as President. A lizard in APC cannot be a crocodile in Aso Rock.
APC, get lost, and take your collaborators and cohorts, BOKO HARAM, with you. BOKO HARAM will be defeated.
Nawa oooo.....death penalty is not the solution. I only wished she had run away instead of killing them. Nawa oooo. Thank God I was born in the south because I can only imagine what the girl must have gone through. And shame on those paedophiles!!!
ReplyDeletePoor gurl. #Mr Vybez#
ReplyDeleteyou can force a dog to the stream but u cant force it to drink. the poor child was just trying to free herself from a lifetime bondage. isn't it crime enough that she was forced? dis is a girl still with childlike dreams, this is d fate of the so-called future generation. what a shameless govt! no conscience! no hope for posterity

ReplyDeleteDeath sentence for a 14 year old? Too harsh abeg. Not making an excuse for the girl but I'm pretty sure the guy must have forced himself on her and she was traumatized . Yes she should be punished but not death sentence. The girl was definitely not thinking clearly
ReplyDeleteHaba! I knw what she did is weighty but then she's still I minor n shld't face a death sentence. D bereaved family shld forgive her n God will give them d fortitude to bear d loss. Make una sef stop child marriage na.

She is stll a minor.
ReplyDeleteThese people are mad!!!!! how can you kill a child? Have they even considered why she felt forced to do that? Like maybe review if young girls should be given out in marriage that young?
ReplyDeleteReally...the rational behind this child marriage I still do not understand..where is our fundamental human rights? how can a child so young and tender understand what marriage entails! In my opinion I think it serves them right and the bride child doesn't deserve to die...how can a 35yr old make love to. tender girl of this age,what if she gets pregnant..pls do u pple think at all? OMG....
ReplyDeleteok

ReplyDeleteNa wa o
ReplyDeletePlease this useless bokoharam Muslims should leave this innocent girl alone in as much as am not in support of what she did. She should be set free please she has suffered enough shame on her family that sold her Innocence that turned her into a murderer. May the 35 years old fucking man continue to burn in hell serves him right I pray they ban such cruel laws that imprisons young female children all in the name of religion. Mohammed must have been very high on cocaine to write such in their stupid misleading Quran. God please save this innocent girl I can only imagine the torture she is going through in prison and I won't be surprise if they poison her there.
ReplyDeleteShe probably tot indocide is a seasoning, afterall she's jez a child.
ReplyDeleteI tink her case shud b examined carefully..
Linda, pls this should be escalated to the knowledge of the international community, child right activists, etc, that girl must not die for a crime she was forced to commit.
ReplyDeleteFor Heaven,s sake child marriage is morally wrong, let us leave religion out of it. can anyone in the house imagine the trauma a child went through that spurred her to this action
O God, I pity the girl, what an assault.
