The Custodian April 13, 2014
A
Nigerian child-bride, 14 year-old Wasila Umaru, recently killed her 35 year-old
husband, after being forced to marry him.
After
the wedding, the groom, Sani Umaru invited some friends to celebrate in Ungwar
Yansoro village, which is close to the city of Kano. However, during the
festivities, Wasila slipped some rat poison into the rice that was being
served, Dailymail reports.
Her
husband, along with some of his friends, died that same day.
Wasila is reportedly cooperating with the police, and may be charged with
culpable homicide.
According
to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), fifty percent of Nigerian girls
who live in rural areas get married before age 18.
