A jealous housewife identified as Aisha Abubakar has killed her stepdaughter and namesake, Aisha Abubakar to punish her mate for accepting to be her husband’s second wife.
The jealous wife has been arrested by the Nigerian police for murdering the 4-year-old with rat poison in Katsina State.
The incident happened on Tuesday at Rimi in the Rimi Local Government Area of the state.
Reports say the jealous stepmother had been bearing a grudge since her husband left her and proposed to the mother of the deceased girl. After 4 years, the husband had a change of mind and returned to her.
Narrating how she killed the little stepdaughter, Abubakar said, “Her mother travelled and left her in my care; that was how I took the advantage and added rat poison to her food.
“I’d been bitter for over four years because before my husband took the deceased person’s mother as his second wife, he sent me packing before he later restored our marriage.
“I killed her to vent my anger and to punish her mother and my husband put together for traumatising me,” she said.
The spokesperson for the Katsina State police command, SP Gambo Isa confirmed the incident, saying “she (Abubakar) killed her stepdaughter with rat poison and spared her own three children”.
