Lamido Abba Soron-Dinki, a Prosecutor in the case filed against her, asked the presiding judge at the High Court in Gezawa, Kano state, to 'terminate the case of culpable homicide against Wasila Tasi’u'. "With a heavy heart, I apply that the accused be discharged.” he said
Legal sources in Kano said the court had been under serious pressure from human rights groups and the international community to drop the case since she had been married against her will at age 14.
Prosecutors had been seeking the death penalty for Wasila.

Thank God
Thank God
Good news, I hope she gets help to Ve a better life
Glory to God
Thank u Lord
They should come and take her abroad so the husband people don't kill her. Obviously crime of grief. Yeye old man, some men re just wicked. Want to be sleeping with a 14 yr old. Hiss
Is that the best option to drop the case?..she had other option of running away...killing another human is a great offense and can not be over looked, if she can kill at age 14, the at age 25 she can kill and eat d flesh....#myopinion
They should take her into hiding cos she is not safe!
Good

They better take the girl out of this country before these blood sucking islamic fanatics kill her
What a relief! So happy for her
This is d very reason why Nigeria as a country can never move forward 'Sentiments' Pls oo I don't support marrying any female against her will But she clearly knew what she was doing when she decided to kill 4 people . This sort of situations will always occur unless we as a country decide to remove sentiments in our dealings

Nimelda said so...
Yaaaaaaaay!!!!!! Dancing shoki... Thanks be to God! Come o, wetin 35years old man dey find for 13 years old girl body? Bomboklat!
Things are changing already!!! Experience the change and rejoice my fellow Nigerians!!! This is the NEW NIGERIA!!! SAI BUHAR!!!!!!!
What about the dead?? Did she knowingly kill them? Was she aware of her crimes?? She could have ran away you know, rather she decided to kill FIVE (5) people. Out of her pain she felt 5 lives were worth it. She had no regard for their lives.
"with a heavy heart"
strip dis lawyer of his licence
Best news ever. The pedophile got what he deserved
"with a heavy heart"
strip dis lawyer of his licence
or should I say lieSENSE
tank God! obviously she ws forced 2 enta d marriage.
Way to go,thank God.
Thank God for her..Aboki marry adults not kids...
Lucky girl.
Steps should be taken to rehabilitate her. Taking human life is serious. She took two. Don't just release her. Rehabilitate her with an education, new environment, etc.
So happy to hear this
B a minor pave way for her if not...
U can say dt gtfo again. Some men might still attempt to kill her!
Am hoping it teaches those old fools to allow these girl grow up before giving them VVF!!!
Thank God for her life
I pray they even stat killing the old fools so dat it will deter oda intending fools who want to marry dia grand daughters!
Whoa, she killed five people. That's high.
So wt do u suggest they do to her?
She ddnt intend to kill 4, the other idiots ( sorry to say of d dead), went there to celebrate the dirty act wt d old fool who wanted to marry her. No one wld hv supported d girl if she had been 18 when she committed d act, she's a child. If those men want these girl to be prosecuted when they commit this type of act, then they should marry them from 18! Even though it's still not right to force an 18yr old into marriage, but, she might hv bn able to run away loll! God help us!
So wt do u suggest we do? Pray tell? They died cause of greed. So what wld hv bn done to them if it had bn the other way round? If the girl had died while giving birth cos her organs aren't ripe enough or developed VVF?
So for killing 5 men she gets no punishment . the world craves gender equality but everytime a stand is to be taken against a female the people expect leniency. she is a minor who was forced into marriage agreed but child marriages and arranged marriages are common practices in the north .. If right or wrong is another thing but down there its not wrong ... That she killed her husband and four other people to escape her marriage and gets to go free only gives room and encouragement to other girls and even those in unhappy marriages .. The punishment she should have been given I have no idea but definitely not just discharged without facing consequences for 5 murders ... "My Opinion"
Idiottttttttt! Did they think of her when they were busy rejoicing at d stupid wedding? She poisoned d man alone, but d chi lol of those other 3 people wanted to purnish them for joining in d celebration, so their throat grew longer n decided to join d man to eat his food, so serves them right.
Loll exactly! What's heavy in his heart?
Let me drink kunu in celebration of this. Lindaobserve
oh good news hope this child bride ish gets abolished as well
I sometimes Get confused when i read stories On here and comments after. First of all let me state my stand here, I say NO to child bride and forcefully marrying someone against their will. But this little girl killed 5 people though. Does this mean killing is better than child bride? Or killing should be an exit in a child bride situation? we need clensing in Nigeria.
So true hilary obiora...dem fit corner am kill am, dis is risky
Wonderful, nice judgement. Let other parents learn. Let her seek God's forgiveness for the life she took. She must pray for God's intervention for her future. May God forgive her for she is a murderer.
Best news so far. God is indeed great.
No one has the right to kill.
She should have run away. Wicked girl
The girl should be punished. 14 is not too young. She should have fun away
Should we b happy dat a minor was a hubby killer, and wht r we really happy abt concerning dis news???
Indeed d world is so unfair, and heading to where is not desirable if we don't do sth abt dis.
I do not in any way support child marriage. But I find the national celebration that accompany this mass murder quite horrifying. May God be with Nigeria .
Ure very wicked, can u pray to be in her shoes. Commenting like idiot
thank God the case has been discharged and aquitted
Thank God.
Excellent news!
Paedophilia is not a right. Cold molesters are the scum of the earth.
Royal priesthood. .. yes we are happy she killed the bastard. What he did to her is worse@
Thank God
...NA ZO
I hear people say she should av run away and I marvel. Imagine yourself at age 14. Did you have any mind of your own at that age. If you had a family who pushed you out to live with Sm other against your will, and running was your only option, where would you run to? Back to the same family? Plssss it does not make any sense to say she would have run away.
I am happy she's been released. She is still. A child and it is going to be a bit difficult, but I guess she should be given back her childhood.
MEN PLEASE STAY OFF OUR MINORS. Go for your mates if you must marry.
If I may ask, at what age did you start having sex?
Persecutors drop biko. Grammer dikwa mkpa ka o na-adaba.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Educate this girl child and others like her and watch the North do well in myriads of ways. It is against human rights to force a minor or anyone into a marriage contract. This case and others like it is proof enough. Set the girl child free.
Prosecutors nwanne.
Happy 4 r o
really... hmmmm. cool
