Jealous housewife throws two stepchildren into well over disagreement with their mother in Nasarawa

20-year-old jealous housewife, Aisha Isah, who reportedly threw her two stepdaughters , Zainab 4 , and Baaba 2 , into a well over a disagreement with their mother, has been arrested by theNasarawa State Police Command.

According to the Police Command’s PRO, DSP Kennedy Idirisu, the suspect who was arrested in Yelwan- Bassa village in Kokona Local Government Area, has already confessed to the crime which happened and expressed remorse over her action.


The Police PRO further told NAN correspondent that investigation revealed that Aisha who gave birth to a baby girl in 2016 who died after six months, was always at loggerheads with the first wife, Maimuna who she claimed was always instigating her children not to run errands for her , a development that infuriated her since she had no child of her own.

It was also gathered when the first child Baaba was thrown into the well in April, the family believed the baby accidentally fell into the well and died since no one saw her. However 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.
