Thursday, January 30, 2025 - A young woman arrested for inducing labour by pouring boiling water on her pregnant sister-in-law has said her act was an expression of anger that went farther than she intended.
The victim recieved serious burns, especially in her back region, and is
currently on hospital admission receiving treatment.
The 20-year-old woman who did the damage, Jamila Ishiaku, a resident of
Dubeli, a community in Yola North Local Government Area, said she acted in
blind anger in the course of a heated argument between her and the victim.
“I didn’t think it would go this far. I was just angry,” Jamila said in
an interview.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Adamawa State, SP Suleiman
Nguroje, said the suspect would face the consequences of her action.
The assurance came as the victim’s family demanded for justice.
A sister of the victim, Nefisat Dahiru, said the family would be
expecting the police to take decisive action.
This is also as the victim’s husband, Gambo Dahiru, has been lamenting.
“My wife has been crying uncontrollably. I am seeking justice for her.
The law should take its course,” Gambo said.
