The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a 19-year-old housewife, Aisha Musa, for allegedly attempting to poison her husband barely 40 days after their wedding.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Nafiu Habib, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, saying the incident occurred on August 12 in Gwamma Village, Bauchi Local Government Area.
According to Habib, the suspect allegedly mixed a poisonous substance into her husband’s meal before serving it to him.
He said the police received a distress call from an unidentified woman and immediately deployed officers to the scene.
The victim was subsequently rushed to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital in Bauchi, where he is receiving medical treatment.
Habib said police arrested the suspect shortly after the incident and that she allegedly confessed during interrogation.
He added that investigators recovered an empty bottle suspected to have contained the poison, as well as remnants of the meal, which were registered as exhibits.
The police said investigation into the incident is ongoing.
