The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested a woman, Zaliha Shuaibu, for the alleged murder of her co-wife’s three-month-old son in Malari Village, Soba LGA. The incident occurred on May 13, 2025, while the baby’s mother briefly stepped out, leaving the child unattended. Upon her return, she found Shuaibu holding the baby, who was foaming at the mouth and had a neck injury. The infant was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead.
According to police spokesperson Mansir Hassan, investigations revealed that Shuaibu, in conspiracy with her husband’s younger brother, Lawal Muhammad (who is currently on the run), used acid to kill the baby. The suspect has confessed to the crime.
Commissioner of Police Rabiu Muhammad has vowed that justice will be served and all individuals involved will face prosecution.
