The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested a housewife, Zaliha Shuaibu, for allegedly killing her co-wife’s three-month-old baby by feeding him acid in Malari village, located in the Soba Local Government Area of the state.

The disturbing incident occurred on May 13, 2025, inside the family compound shared by the suspect, her husband, and the baby’s mother, Maryam Ibrahim.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, in a statement made available to Saturday PUNCH on Friday, confirmed the incident and said the suspect was arrested following a swift investigation by the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Soba Division.

According to the police, trouble began when Maryam left her baby alone in the room to use the bathroom. Upon her return, she found the infant in the arms of her co-wife, Zaliha.

“Zaliha handed the child back to Maryam, who immediately noticed that the baby was in distress, with foam coming out of his mouth and a visible injury on his neck,” [/b]Hassan said.

The child was rushed to a nearby hospital in the village but was pronounced dead on arrival.

[b]“Following the incident, the DPO of Soba Division quickly mobilised his team and arrested the suspect, Zaliha Shuaibu. During interrogation, she confessed to feeding the baby acid with the help of her husband’s younger brother, Lawal Muhammad, who is currently on the run,” the police spokesperson added.

According to Hassan, Zaliha confessed that it was Lawal who provided the acid used to carry out the heinous act.

The Commissioner of Police in Kaduna State, Rabiu Muhammad, has assured the public that no stone will be left unturned in the investigation and that all individuals connected to the crime will be brought to book.

He further vowed that the fleeing suspect would be tracked down and justice served.

What a family.Smh.

Parents who release their daughters into polygamous families really have mind o.

The mother was just plain naive. I know women who would have locked that door and/or taken her child along to the rest room then manage themselves together just to keep her baby alive.

The police should get Justice for the baby.

Make them feed her too , Acid and sniper

Polygamy is more religious than cultural up north
Justice that cannot bring back the dead is not justice
I suggest they mete out sharia on her

Women

Wicked!

Mad woman

What's her gain?

Rot in jail

Sigh... Shebi una say Polygamy is not bad, it is a great part of our culture, yen yen yen.


If you want to do Polygamy, better have the resources to fully cater to the women and their offsprings, and properly separate them from one another.


Stop forcing women who eternally hate each other to live under the same roof... Innocent pikin don collect.

Cm'n now, that's evil at its worst. Let's not even blame it on polygamy. This is just humans being humans.

I blame the man. If you are tired of marrying her divorce her.

Nothing to blame the mother with, not even naivety.
Don't think she ever thought the cowife had ill will towards her or the child especially if/when they never had any problems prior and looks like they never did cause the report did not say the mother made any fuss out of it when she saw the cowife tendering to the baby except only when she saw the baby in distress and not necessarily the cowife carrying the baby.

That cowife is just evil and should be given capital punishment alongside the evil brother. Hurting a little baby in that gruesome manner can only be animalistic

This is terrible. No wonder the Bible says:

Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Shalom!!!

What manner of wickedness is this?!

From Eve down to this one (No woman no cry)

this has gone beyond wickedness.

North.ern women wickedness dey on another level ooo

This is really cruel.

Saw someone’s status, which stated, “A wicked man is less wicked than a wicked woman”.

Been pondering on it for the past 2 days.

I guess acts like this propagate such notion.

Oh my...women

What a wicked human being. She supposed to be stoned to death or forced to drink part of the remaining acid along with her accomplice.

It takes a certain level of evil mind to carry out things like this

Thought it will be an igbo woman.

I what one nurse said some times ago. A man married a young girl as second wife.
The first wife will take the girl to hospital to do some stuff to make sure she never gives birth.

Many things dey happen.
The baby didn't beg them to bring him to this harsh life

Yeh!

How is she feeling? I mean the killer. God! She go fit close eye sleep?

How can someone not just someone but a female not just a female but mother, could do such.

She is a devil that needs to be skinned alive.

If na Ogun state will no go hear words

When you enter polygamy marriage to follow the desires of a sex addict hiding under Islam. The consequences will be on your children. That’s the risk. The sex addict does not care, he only care about sex.

The heart of a man is wicked
