The disturbing incident occurred on May 13, 2025, inside the family compound shared by the suspect, her husband, and the baby’s mother, Maryam Ibrahim.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, in a statement made available to Saturday Punch confirmed the incident and said the suspect was arrested following a swift investigation by the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Soba Division.
According to the police, trouble began when Maryam left her baby alone in the room to use the bathroom. Upon her return, she found the infant in the arms of her co-wife, Zaliha.
“Zaliha handed the child back to Maryam, who immediately noticed that the baby was in distress, with foam coming out of his mouth and a visible injury on his neck,” Hassan said.
The child was rushed to a nearby hospital in the village but was pronounced dead on arrival.
“Following the incident, the DPO of Soba Division quickly mobilised his team and arrested the suspect, Zaliha Shuaibu. During interrogation, she confessed to feeding the baby acid with the help of her husband’s younger brother, Lawal Muhammad, who is currently on the run,” the police spokesperson added.
According to Hassan, Zaliha confessed that it was Lawal who provided the acid used to carry out the heinous act.
The Commissioner of Police in Kaduna State, CP Rabiu Muhammad, has assured the public that no stone will be left unturned in the investigation and that all individuals connected to the crime will be brought to book.
He further vowed that the fleeing suspect would be tracked down and justice served.

ReplyDeleteThe disadvantages of polygamy plenty no be small.
Honestly!
DeleteIn polygamy, children are always at the receiving end.
Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteNot again!
ReplyDeleteWhat offence did the innocent baby commit? Men marrying these underaged girls who cannot control their emotions yet and do not understand the consequences of their actions just create unnecessary pain. If frontal lobes are not fully developed until a person is 25 years old then that is when ppl should marry.
ReplyDeleteThis person should be sterilized as part of her punishment. She should never be able to have a child.
She is very evil.
ReplyDeleteSuch an evil person, feeding a 3months acid
ReplyDeleteThis is so depressing to read.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the level of wickedness in some people 😭🤦🏿
Evil woman, they should send her to where she sent the innocent baby to.
