Tragedy struck during the week in Owode community in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State following the killing of a 20-month-old boy by his 10-year-old stepsister.
On December 15, the suspect, Suliya Abubakar, who hails from Sokoto State allegedly threw her stepbrother, Usman Abubakar, into a well in their residence.
The late Usman was earlier feared to had been kidnapped after he could not be found within the premises by his parents.
Narrating how the incident happened, the primary 3 pupil, who was weeping uncontrollably, said that she never knew her action will result in the death of her brother.
However, the little girl said since her mother separated from her father, Usman’s mother had been maltreating her, with her father also showing much affection for her late stepbrother.
According to her, the action towards the late Usman was due to the hatred she had for her stepmother.
Suliya also disclosed that before it was discovered that she was behind the death of her stepbrother, her father had told her to lie that her mother kidnapped Usman.
She said, “My stepmom was maltreating me. At times, Usman will pass excreta in the plate we use to eat, but his mother will use the same plate to give me food.
When I insist that I will not eat the food, she starts beating me until I finish the food. Immediately after eating the food, I’ll start vomiting.
“On the day of the incident, the same thing had happened. Later in the evening, I went to fetch water from the well and Usman followed me. A voice whispered to me that I should push him into the well and I did it. But I never knew that he will die......When they started looking for him and they couldn’t find him, my dad told me to lie that it’s my mother who sneaked into our home to kidnap Usman.
“When I was told that everyone in the house will be taken to the palace of the monarch to swear through traditional means, it’s then that I confessed.”
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Bolaji Salami confirmed the Incident....
From dailypost.
Hmmmmmmm. This is sad.
ReplyDeleteMay the soul of the little kid rest in peace.
Now,what will be the fate of the accused?
Sometimes I don't blame mothers who endure So much in their husbands houses for the sake of their children. Some step-mothers can bring out the very devil in a young soul. So this little girl that should still be basking in her parents love and protection has been so exposed to hatred and anger that she became a monster! Some grow up and become terrible individuals with capacity to kill and be wicked rootlessly.
DeleteThe evil polygamy causes in homes. So much jealousy,envy and bitterness exist btw the wives,dere kids,and this can go on for generations.
DeleteAll because a man wants to enjoy several women....only very few in polygamous homes have genuine love for eachother.
Beds and roses, the word is THEIR not dere
DeleteUnknown u can always bypass my comments. Im not here to write an English thesis. Anyone can decide to write in shorthand or how dey want to write. Its not an error,as u can see no word in English as dere so u shld know i intentionally wrote it dat way.
DeleteIf ur not happy,jump and pass biko.
Short of words....The beatings and the maltreatment really got to her ..
ReplyDeleteSome women are wicked tho! How can you feed a child with a plate someone pooed on? For God sake,how hard is it to be nice to someone's child? Now see what her actions has made this lil girl do,at such a young age she is harbouring so much hate!!
DeleteMay the boy rest in peace.
I keep asking that question. How hard is it to love another person's child? What do ppl gain from wickedness?
DeleteThis child behaved wrongly.
ReplyDeleteBut I keep saying it here. Ladies should stop maltreating and enslaving every child living with them that wasn't born by them; step child, maid etc. In the end, you and your family bear the brunt of it all. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I blame the stepmother and the girl's father.
DeleteThey taught and filled the little girl's heart with hatred by bad example.
See her wickedness to another woman's child cost her the life of her own child.
Please, the little girl should be fostered by a godly loving couple.
So very very sad.
ReplyDeleteNever leave your child for any stepmother.
Chai!!! Am speechless. The only person I pity is just that innocent boy whose life was cut short. Jesus!!! The girl's heart has been hardened. I can't even imagine the scene. My heart no carry am
ReplyDeleteThey made a monster out of her😰😰😰why feed her with a plate your son pooed in.
ReplyDeleteI hope the State correctional home will help her out when she serve her punishment under them.
Which punishment? Which correctional home?
DeleteThe little girl needs a new family filled with love.
It's the stepmom and dad that should be jailed for pushing the girl over the edge of her sanity and leaving a toddler in the care of a minor. 😖😡
She will still go to a correctional facility. No need trying to gloss over the evil in her own action. It's still a crime and not everybody wd have taken that route. Are u not the same ppl saying that she has been hardened. So she needs to be softened.
DeleteThis is so sad!
ReplyDeleteWomen !! I just don't understand us. what will it take you to treat another woman's child like your own for crying out love ? you treat your own well and maltreat someone else's and you want them to love your own child and treat them well don't you see the irony it can't be possible. I don't condone what the child did but I don't blame her either whatever we do in life will one way or the other come back to us. Treat Everyone with kindness that is what God says. Na una sabi sha who lost now ?
ReplyDeleteThat serpent in Eden has not left some daughters of Eve alone! 🐍🙎♀️
DeleteThey should send her to rehab abeg she’s a minor, the abuse she’s been suffering led to this.
ReplyDeleteI hope the step mum is punished as well, she has ruined the lives of two children, one being her own. There’s nothing I hate more than irresponsible men, so I have no words for her dad.
Hmmmmmmmmmm. What she did is absolutely wrong. Its wickedness in the highest order but please ladies. If you cannot treat anyone staying with you the way you will treat your own child. Kindly send them back to their parents or wherever you brought them from.
ReplyDeleteIt is not wickedness. The young girl's psyche has been distorted by the stepmother'wickedness.
DeleteWho knows how many years she had been psychologically and physically tortured by a grown adult woman. No love from her father either.
The girl's young mind now sees torture as normal human behaviour.
Let her wicked stepmother and irresponsible father learn their lesson through this horrible loss.
😔
ReplyDeleteSpeechless..
ReplyDeletesee what maltreating a child can cause. There is no justification for what the little girl did but ill treating kids can bring out the monster in them. Women too if you must leave, leave with your child to avoid such stories
ReplyDeletePls what this child needs is rehabilitation. As for the step mother, shebi she has seen the result of wickedness. But did the father know what she did? He should be arrested. Why tell her to lie that her mother did something wrong???
ReplyDeleteHe probably suspected and wanted to protect the girl. Remember he is her father and knows her the most. The lady is her step Mum and just got to know her. But shame on fathers (men) who see maltreatment going on under their nose and refuse to correct their wives under the guise of I'm man of the house I don't care what happens in the kitchen.
DeleteHonestly, I don't understand the part of pinning it on an innocent woman and telling the girl to lie. What a tragic story, useless father and wicked stepmother, RIP little one.
DeleteThe evil man wanted the girl to lie against her own mother. He should be arrested
DeleteNIB the man didn't want to protect the girl.He was trying to implicate the innocent woman and get her in trouble.You know how our Nigeria police are,they would go and arrest and jail the innocent woman without any investigation.I am sure the useless man was bitter over the woman's leaving him and perhaps having a better life now,than she had with him.
DeletePeople blaming the woman for leaving her daughter,know that most uneducated northern women have no power during and after divorce or separation,you can't take the kids out of the marriage.Unless the man permits.
So sad.
ReplyDeleteMy heart weeps for that child who lost his life due to the wickedness of his own mother.
ReplyDeleteOMG... I'm speechless 😶😶😶
Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteHer parent started the wickedness on the child that's why you should treat every of your family members equally
ReplyDeleteVery sad how people treat other peoples kid. She went too far but I also think love would have been able to overcome all these.
ReplyDeleteJudges stop giving men full custody of the children. They need their own mothers love. That girl is damaged and will kill more people in the future if not rehabilitated.
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!!
DeleteI don't understand why Nigerian judges give the men custody. Have they not been seeing the way these children are maltreated by their fathers' new wives?
Why maltreat any other person child,if u can't take care of the child return her to her mom
ReplyDeleteA child psychologist needs to acess the 10 year old girl. One thing i noticed is the way she lies.
ReplyDeleteThey also need to confirm if the stepmother truly maltreated her or she was just jealous of that boy or pushed to it by her mother. There are so many variables. Let us be objective.
Whatever the case is, there is no excuse to murder. If truly she was mistreated, why couldn't the father return her to the mother.
KING XOXO MYSTERY
KING XOXO MYSTERY you have not seen WICKED women.
DeleteMy mom's cousin's wife was feeding her own last sister with bowl they used to scoop kerosene! They used to sell kerosene then. She so maltreated that her baby sister, you won't believe they are from same mom and dad. 💔😭
On one occasion, during her baby dedication party, she used the kerosene bowl to dish food for two of my cousins (my two uncle's first sons). Smart boys caught a whiff of kerosene and dumped the food, plus the plate wasn't fancy like the other plates.
Guess what! Ironically, it's those boy's father's that made that woman's husband rich and were far wealthier than her husband.
Some women are just demons.
The way she lies? Na wa o. Palava for who no woke o. 🙄
DeleteYou haven't seen wickedness yet.Justt hank God you grew up in a loving home with wonderful parents.Because some kids don't get that.people are actually wicked and evil to kids.
DeleteIf you treat someone like an animal day in day out do not be surprised if the end up acting like one.
ReplyDeleteWhen the opportunity presents itself to love and nurture someone attend to the call with everything in you. Looking down on the fruit of another woman's womb is the lowest you can go. Ill treating them even lower.
They made a monster out of her and she turned around to bite them
ReplyDeleteMay the lil boys soul rest in perfect peace
I just pray that little boy didn't suffer. May the little innocent rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand some women. You menstruate. You experience labor. Yet you don't think twice before scattering another woman's home by having an affair with her husband and you don't think twice before treating another woman's child wickedly. Tufiakwa for some of you.
ReplyDeleteTrue @ most of what you said.
DeleteBut the day women realise that 'affair having' and 'home scattering' is the fault of both men and women, and it is a husband's job as well to protect his home from marauders, the better for everyone.
The girl's action is inexcusable. Stop trying to make excuses for her. They are all wrong and shd get their just treatment, each. I refuse to accept that killing the boy was her only option. The innocent boy alone, elicits sympathy here. Those talking about a foster home, will u take her in with her murderous tendency? She needs professional help from a correctional institute. It's just unfortunate that a lot of men are so hung up on their personal gratification, that their children's welfare makes no meaning to them. That they have children at all, is purely for selfish reasons. If u know u don't have what it takes to father a child, PLEASE leave fatherhood well alone! If u can't take care of ur kids on divorce, PLEASE leave them with their mother or whoever else can and will! STOP using children as PAWNS to fight ur battles! U'll have God to answer to one day for it.
