The Nasarawa State Police Command has
arrested a 20 -year -old housewife , Aisha Isah ,
for allegedly throwing her two stepdaughters ,
Zainab 4 , and Baaba 2 , into a well over a
disagreement with their mother.

Spokesperson for the command, DSP Kennedy
Idirisu, who disclosed this in an interview with
the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Lafia,
said the suspect was arrested in Yelwan- Bassa
village in Kokona Local Government Area.
He said the suspect had confessed to the crime
and expressed remorse over her action.

He said investigation revealed that Aisha, who is
the second wife of Alhaji Isah, was always at
loggerheads with the first wife, Maimuna, and
that all efforts by their husband to settle their
differences were unsuccessful .

Aisha claimed that the first wife was always
instigating her children not to run errands for her
, a development that infuriated her since she had
no child of her own. She said she had given birth
to a baby girl in 2016 , but the baby died after
six months.

Idirisu said Aisha had thrown baby Baaba into
the well in April but since no one saw her , the
family believed the baby accidentally fell into the
well and died .

On August 26 , the police spokesman said, Aisha
raised alarm that another child , Zainab , had
fallen into the well and the husband dashed into
the well to rescue the baby .

He said the husband brought out the baby dead ,
with her hands tied , which drew suspicion from
the family and villagers leading to the arrest of
Aisha.

According to him , Aisha later confessed to the
crime and also accepted responsibility for the
death of baby Baaba in April.

He said the suspect would be prosecuted as
soon as investigation into matter was concluded.
