The police in Kaduna State has arrested a 20-year-old mom, Faith Alhassan, for killing her one-year-old daughter, allegedly to enable her to marry her former boyfriend who was not ready to accept her with a baby.
The Nation reports that on December 28, 2020, the corpse of a baby girl was found in a well at Gantan village of Kachia LGA of the State.
According to the police, an investigation revealed the mother of the dead baby girl, Faith Alhassan, dumped her in the well in the night to be able to marry her ex-boyfriend.
She reportedly committed the hideout crime after her ex-boyfriend, Dolan Yakubu’s father complained of the baby during a visit to the boy’s village.
“I am here because of my daughter that I threw into the well and she died, I don’t know what came over me when I carried out the act,” she said.
