A 20-year-old bride from Adamawa State’s Mubi North Local Government Area, Amina Hassan, has been taken into custody after it was claimed that she set fire to her husband’s home…
Amina’s action was reportedly triggered by her husband’s refusal to grant her a divorce which they agreed on before the marriage.
It was gathered that Amina had informed her parents that she was no longer interested in the marriage a few days before the wedding.
However, they insisted that the wedding must go ahead as they had already distributed invitation cards.
After the wedding, Amina was said to have sought the help of a native doctor to make her husband hate her and grant her a divorce.
The native doctor reportedly performed a ritual and collected N12,000 for his services.
However, the ritual ended up turning Amina’s heart away from her husband instead of the other way round.
After she was apprehended by the Adamawa State Police Command, the suspect confessed to committing the crime.
Spokesman for the Police Command, SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, quoted Amina on Tuesday, as saying: “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”.
