Kano state Government has filed a fresh charge of culpable homicide punishable by death against 14 year old child bride, Wasila Tasiu, who in April 2014 allegedly poisoned her 35 year old husband, Umar Sani and three of his friends in Kano, 17 days after she was forced to marry him.

“That you, Wasila Tasiu, 14 years, of Yansoro village , Gaya Local Government Council, on or about the 5th day of April, 2014, at about 14:30 hours, at Yansoro village, Gaya within the Kano Judicial Division, did commit culpable homicide punishable  with death in that you caused the death of four persons.

Serves the idiot and his friends right. I support the girl. In his next life, he'll never think of forcing himself on a young girl who can't give consent yet. Animals!!! This shld serve as a lesson to those old fools in the north who go abt destroyin the self esteem and careers of little girls old enough to be their daughters

Why are you so stupid & fool to insult Muslim and Islam. Since you don't know the doctrine of a Islam why don't you people keep quite. How many so called Pastor deflowered young girls of less than 7 & 6 years of age, did we Muslim insult a Christian. Please go and read Islam!! NONSENSE.

two weeks after forcing her into marriage the man can still not have his way with his wife bcos the bride wont succum. he seek the advice of his friends who encouraged him to use force and they helped him. they need to celebrate their victory asking her to cook for them. already battered and wounded did the cooking with -tive aroma that sent them beyond. mercy Lord.
