Malam Ibrahim Yayaha Sidi Na Khalifa, the aggrieved father of the 19-year-old bride, Fatima Aliyu, who was killed by her co-wife 50 days after her wedding says he wants the killers of her daughter dead.
A few days ago, Ghgossip reported about a newly wedded wife who was beaten and set ablaze by her co-wife, Amina Aliyu in Minna, Niger State. Confirming the news to BBC Hausa, Muhammed Adamu, Niger State Commissioner of Police said that Amina and other three suspects are currently in their custody.
During an interview with Daily Trust, the father of the deceased demanded the execution of those behind the death of her daughter. He said;
“I will never forgive the blood of my daughter. The Qur’an says ‘We had ordained for them a life for a life’…, so I want to see that judgement is passed on the perpetrators of this dreadful act,”
“No! I will never forgive them. If it was an accident or unintentional manslaughter, that is a different issue. But you beat my daughter to death and as if that was not enough, you also set her body ablaze, that I will never forgive,” he added, weeping profusely.
“Based on those glad tidings, I have no iota of doubt that my daughter will be among the dwellers of the paradise and that makes me happy. But I am grieved and it is really agonising bearing in mind that I will see her no more in this world and I am pained thinking what she went through in the hands of her assailants,” he said.
