Two
women are being made to answer for their dastardly crime after they
brutally subjected their stepson to unbelievable torture in Kano.
The little boy who was badly brutalized
The two housewives, Zainab and Hafsatu Musa, who allegedly tortured
and broke the legs and arms of a two-year-old boy, have been arrested
by the Kano State Police Command on Monday.
The women are reportedly married to the same man, Murtala Musa, but
the child belongs to the third wife, who had packed out of the house. Musa, a resident of Gulu town in Rimin Gado Local Government Area
of the state, was said to have divorced his third wife, who left her
two-year-old boy with him. However, Musa handed the boy over to his senior wife, Zainab, to
take care of, but unknown to him, the boy was usually subjected to
torture by the two wives, because he was not their child.
Confirming the report, the state Police Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, DSP Magaji Majiya, told newsmen the women had been arrested.
He said the incident occurred on Friday.
He said, “When the women’s husband, Murtala Musa, came back home about 8pm, he met his two-year-boy laying in critical condition.
“On seeing the condition of the boy, Musa rushed him to the
hospital where it was confirmed that his legs were broken and that blood
was oozing from his nose and ears, while doctors said he might have
problems with his eyes.”
The state Police Commissioner, Abbati Dikko, upon the arrest,
reportedly directed that they be transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department, SCID, for further investigation. Meanwhile, the wife of the Police Commissioner, who is also the
Chairperson of the Police Wives’ Association against Child Abuse, Hajiya
Aishatu Diko, has intervened in the case. Aishatu stressed that cruelty against children is not tolerable as
she promised that her association would follow the matter to a logical
conclusion.
