Amina Hassan a 20 years old bride of Mubi North LGA, Adamawa State has confessed to setting her husband’s house ablaze for his refusal to divorce her.
The Adamawa State Police Command has apprehended the accused in connection to the crime and is being investigated as ordered by the Commissioner of Police, Afolabi Babatola.
Amina Hassan of Shuware in Mubi North LGA, got married to her husband, Muhammed Auwal about 5 weeks ago and after the union she suddenly demanded for a divorce, for reasons best known to her.
The accused in her statement to the Police Command Spokesperson, SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje on Tuesday, noted that she had set the house on fire because of her husband’s refusal to end their union.
She said: “we made an arrangement that he will divorce me after the marriage. I met him and pleaded with him to divorce me, but he remained adamant.”
“He descended on me and started beating me instead of divorcing me as a result of which I lost my temper and set the house ablaze,” she further narrated.
It was gathered that a few days before the wedding, Amina told her parents that she was no longer interested in the marriage, but her parents refused because they had distributed invitation cards.
After the marriage, the bride sought for help from a native doctor to turn the heart of her husband away from her or to make him hate her so that he would divorce her.
After collecting the sum of N12,000 from her for the job, the native doctor performed all necessary rituals and succeeded in turning her heart away from him instead of his heart away from her as agreed, according to the young bride Amina.
In her statement, she lamented that the native doctor has since relocated to Maiduguri in Borno State and all effort to reach him has proved abortive. She regretted her actions as she advised young ladies to always employ patience in all their endeavors.
