Jos – The Plateau
Police Command on Wednesday in Jos said it had arrested a 17-year-old minor who
allegedly killed her husband over his sexual demands.
The minor allegedly killed Lawal Bala, 26, in his sleep
on their matrimonial bed on July 8.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Chris Olakpe,
said the police had also arrested some suspected criminals.
The minor, who spoke from the police custody, told
newsmen that “he was sleeping with me six times in a day.
“I kept complaining to him that I could not stand his
sexual urge but he refused to listen to my plea; no family member was ready to
help me, so I did what I did. “
She said that she regretted killing him, but that she
thought that was the only option left for her to free herself from the pains
she was passing through.
According to her, I have realised my mistake and have
repented of my sin; all I want is for the authorities to allow me to go home.
The suspect said she was already two months pregnant for
her late husband and would want to go home to take care of herself till
delivery.
Earlier, Olakpe had said that when the matter was
reported, and the minor was arrested, she denied committing the offence.
“But in the cause of investigations, she later confessed
to committing the crime and gave reasons, “ he said.
Olakpe, who said that the offence was a culpable
homicide, added that she would soon be prosecuted at the Juvenile Court. (NAN)
