The prosecutor,
Lamido Abba Soron-Dinki, has dropped
murder charges against 15-year-old Wasila Tasi'u, the child bride who allegedly
poisoned and killed her 35-year-old
husband, Umar Sani, and four others in the case filed against her today in
Kano.
The
prosecutor, however, asked the presiding judge at the High Court in Gezawa,
Kano state, to 'terminate the case of culpable homicide against Wasila Tasi’u'.
"With a heavy heart, I apply that the accused be discharged.” he said.
It is important to know that she had been married against her will at age 14. Prosecutors had been seeking the death penalty for Wasila.
