14year-old child-bride charged with killing husband, 3 others in Kano

Wasila Tasi’u, the 14 year old bride who killed her 35 year husband Umar Sani, and three others in Kademi village in Gaya Local Government Area in Kano has been charged with murder.

She was charged today April 14th before a Rijiyar Zaki Magistrates Court in Kano for alleged culpable homicide.

The prosecutor, Inspector Yusuf Sale, while testifying before the Magistrate, Binta Muhammad, said the accused killed her husband and three others with food mixed with local rat poison. Sale said her husband and the three others died on the spot while six others who ate the meal fell ill immediately and were rushed to General Hospital Gaya, but were later treated and discharged.

The girl however pleaded not guilty and was remanded in prison on the order of Magistrate Binta.

  6. She is 14, she was trapped ! And she is being charged to court ? The law is warped in Nigeria.... Northern Nigerian folks have to sit up and carve out their path to success in life if they want to succeed.... Well I see Boko Haram as part of their successes

  7. I pity the girl coz this guys will apply strict sharia law on her! Under age marriage is a norm there and she'll face strict penalty regardless of her age

    1. Shut the f**kup you will say Hausa should stop under Age marriage not Muslims. How many yoruba Muslim do you see marry off their kids. It is high time Nigerian 's separate religion from culture . What are the FIDA in kano doing? What is our legal system turning into? A 14 year old remanded in a prison?. Linda if you like don't post my comment

  32. Killing people is in their blood. I have no pity for her after today's bomb blast. Why will she cook with rat poison to start with? She knew what she was doing that's why she didn't eat the food she cooked. Evil thing. I hope she is left to rot in prison.

  55. The Govt should put a law banning under-18 marriage and forget religious backward considerations.


    There should also be a law on free quality education for pry and sec sch level. It will be a crime not to take your child to school.


    I feel sorry for the girl, but i also feel sorry for the dead. lets be fair


    If she was over 18, then this will be life imprisonment or she would be hanged.


    There should be no justification for cold blooded murder. That is why the law should be stronger than religion

  56. Dis hausa pple will cont to remain illiterates and backward. How can u force a 14yr old into marriage and expect her not to act like a 14yr old? In her childish mind she felt dat was d only way out of her misery (marriage)!

  60. Women are their own worst enemies. How will you remand a 14yr old in prison. Guess the judge thinks if the girl can be screwed by a shameless man then she can be termed an adult. We are really sick in Nigeria.

Has anyone considered the psychological and physical trauma that girl (and countless other girls) must be going through?

  68. Dear Mrs (or Ms) Magistrate Binta,pls I dnt know what law or constitution you based your judgement on. Except this blog isn't providing the authentic info,otherwise,why would you MA remand a 14yr old girl (who has been violated and abused,in case u don't know ma) in a prison. I also stand to be corrected that maybe this blog site isn't giving a true account,otherwise,again,please she needs (and countless other young girls out there) to be in a juvenile correction centre BECAUSE she is a minor; as guaranteed by our constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. Yes she committed a crime under the laws of the land,but the same law states that she CAN'T be remanded in a prison custody courtesy of her age! Ma,I don't intend teaching you your job,with all due respect,but please can you rescind your decision and transfer her to a juvenile correction home for minors! God bless Nigeria,God bless you ma.
