14
year old killer child-bride Wasila Umar who is currently facing murder
charges at a Juvenile Court in Kano state for killing her 35 year old
husband and 3 others, has cried out to the court to release her and let
her go home as she misses the love and attention she gets from her
family members. While speaking with a Vanguard reporter
before her hearing at the Kano state Juvenile court recently, Wasila
said she been to three detention camps since she killed her husband and
has not seen her mum.
“I miss my mum who has not been
allowed to visit me in a strange land. What, however, keeps me going is
the fact that my family are with me at this critical point in my life,
and I am highly comforted by their prayers. My dad and aunt visited me a
few days ago and conveyed my mother’s message but the vacuum created
by her absence can not be filled by anyone. I have been receiving help
from the people I did not know from Adam, I mean women who have shown
concern, and cater for my needs at the remand home where I have been
detained by the authorities. I know for sure this trial will come to an
end one day and I would reconcile with my family” she said
Meanwhile the family of Umar, Wasila’s late husband insist that
justice must be served as what she did was wicked. Sani Garbs who is
late Umar’s father says he has not forgiven the young girl as he’s still
nursing the wound her actions caused him
“I am talking to you with a heavy
heart, because I am still nursing a fatal injury handed over to me by
my daughter-in-law. Do you know that I lost three children to her action
and you are asking whether I have forgiven her? The act was too painful
to be forgiven and I don’t think I can forgive her. We understand the
authorities have taken over the case, but whether they choose to stand
by the truth remains their headache for I have since gone to my God who
is sufficient for me” he said
