The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a 19-year-old housewife, Aisha Musa, over an alleged attempt to kill her husband by poisoning him. The incident reportedly occurred only 40 days after the couple got married, according to the police.

Aisha was allegedly arrested after her husband became suspicious that something had been added to his food. Police said the case was reported to the authorities, leading to the woman’s arrest and the commencement of an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged poisoning.

The police are investigating the alleged motive behind the incident and are expected to establish how the substance was obtained and administered. The suspect remains in custody as investigators work to determine the full circumstances of the case.

The incident has drawn attention because of the short period the couple had spent together before the alleged attempt. Police are continuing their investigation, and the allegations against Musa remain subject to due process.
