The police have said that a child bride forced into marriage in Kano State prepared a poisoned meal that has killed her groom and three of his friends.
According to AFP, the police quoted 14-year-old Wasila Umaru as saying she used rat poison in the food because she was forced to marry a man she did not love. The couple was married last week.
The 35-year-old groom had invited a dozen friends to celebrate at his village 100 kilometres from Kano, the state capital, over the weekend.
Child marriage is common in Nigeria and especially in the mainly Muslim North.
Assistant police superintendent Musa Magaji Majia said yesterday that the teenage suspect was cooperating with police and probably would be charged with culpable homicide.
