A 19-year-old housewife, identified as Aisha Musa, has allegedly attempted to poison her husband barely 40 days after their wedding in Bauchi State.
The incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday, August 12, in Gwamma Village, Bauchi Local Government Area of the state.
According to reports, Musa allegedly mixed a poisonous substance into her husband’s meal. The man ate the food but later became seriously ill and was rushed to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital in Bauchi, where he is currently receiving treatment.
The matter reportedly came to light after a woman raised an alarm, prompting an intervention at the couple’s residence.
Following the incident, Musa was arrested and allegedly admitted during questioning that she had mixed the substance into her husband’s food.
During the investigation, an empty bottle believed to have contained the suspected poison, along with remnants of the meal, was recovered.
Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and establish the motive behind the alleged poisoning.
