I killed my husband with rat poison 2wks after we got married" – 15yrs old Housewife confesses (Details, pics)

A 15-year-old housewife, Dausiya Abdulmumini, who killed her husband, Saminu Usman in Ungwar Dan Mayaki village, Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, has confessed that she used N40 rat poison, because she didn’t love him.

The crime occurred just two weeks after the young bride and her husband got married.

Dausiya, who spoke with tears rolling down her cheeks, said she had been dating Abdulrasheed for over two years and that he was responsible for the pregnancy she was carrying at the moment.

In her words: “My Uncle, Yahaya, gave my hands in marriage to a man, Saminu, who I don’t love. And I told them I don’t love him.

“When I told my uncle I don’t love him (my husband), he insisted that the marriage must go on.

“His wife, Ina Yahaya, intervened that since I said I don’t love the man, he (my uncle) should allow me be. But he shut her mouth up, saying she cannot take decisions for him and that he has the right and authority over me and not her.

“Our marriage was two weeks old.”

I was pregnant for another man. 

Asked why she suddenly rejected her husband as it was reported that, initially, she was in love, Dausiya said: “He had an accident, which affected his brain before the marriage.”

Asked about the pregnancy she is carrying, she said: “Abdulrasheed impregnated me. He is in our village. He lives near our house. He is my boyfriend. He is the one I love. We are two years into the relationship.”While her half-brother, Muhammad Dasa, also died after eating the left-over poisoned meal, the sister-in-law, Shafa’atu Usman, 23, who ate three spoons of the left-over, survived the incident.

‘I was in love with another man’

On why she committed the crime, Dausiya said she was forced to marry Saminu, whereas she was in love with one Abdulrasheed, a neighbour.

Dausiya Abdulmumini and Abubakar Musa Sule were, alongside other suspects, arrested for various forms of crimes and criminal offences, paraded by the state’s Commissioner of Police, Besen Gwana, at the Police Headquarters, weekend.

Dausiya was reported to have murdered her husband, Saminu Usman, aged 27, after adding poisonous substance in the food she served her husband.

Asked where she got the poison and how she did it? She said: “I sent someone to buy it for me. I bought N40 poison.”

The poisoned dish was a rice and bean meal.
