Security agents in Kaduna are currently on the trail of a woman simply identified as Hasiya, for breaking the hand, leg and bruising the eye, stomach, back and private part of her step son and also breaking the head of the step daughter by hitting her with the sole of a pointed shoe on her head.
The victims, two year-old Abdulrahman Abubakar and four year-old Maryam Abubakar, are presently receiving treatment at a private hospital in Kaduna after Hasiya, their stepmother allegedly broke Abdulrahman’s left hand, right leg and Maryam’s head at their father’s house located in NDC in Igabi local government area of the state.
According to a national daily, men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) are on the trail of the step mother, Hasiya, who fled the house after security agencies came looking for her at their residence after her evil act.
Mother of the children, Halima, said she and her husband started having problem 12 days after her son was born which terminated their three year old marriage. “Immediately I weaned my son, the father came and took the children away first to his parents’ house and then to his wife,” she said.
“On Monday, I was on my way to the market when I got a call from the father of my children that my son was on admission at the hospital. I quickly rushed there and when I saw the condition my son was in, I was devastated. He could hardly breathe and he had bruises on his eye, his head, his stomach and his private part,” she added
The doctor told me that the fracture on my son’s hand and leg were two weeks old, and I learnt he was not able to walk and was taken to a traditional bone setter who obviously had not been able to fix the fracture.
My children were also starved by the step mother because if you see the way they gulped down the tea my sister made for them. The people in the hospital can bear me witness.”
She said NSCDC took the father for questioning adding that, he was given two days to bring the wife or face the wrath of the law.
When contacted, the Police public relations officer, DSP Aliyu Usman, said the matter had not been reported to the police
