14-month-old child after he reportedly flogged her for crying while he
was trying to watch a TV programme.
Huwaila Abdulahi, 22, brought her estrange husband, Ibrahim Haladu
before the Bauchi State Shariah Commission asking the Commission to
investigate and unravel the mystery behind the lacerations all over
the back of her 14 months old daughter.
According to Vanguard Metro, Abdulahi has been separated from her
husband. Althoughthe estranged housewife is not seeking for adivorce,
she is demanding for justice for her innocent baby as the 14 marks
were not there when the father sent one Ibrahim to bring the little
girl to spend some time with him.
Explaining the incident, Ibrahim said: "I was watching an Arab channel
but she would not let me be with her cries. I was enjoying the
programme, but her cries kept distracting me. I was provoked so I
brought out my charger phone wire and flogged her.My first wife Aisha
who heard her cries cameout and was shouting at me to stop. She was
even angry and rebuked me for beatingher like that. I regret my
action."
"The marks on my daughter's body is not for ritual purposes as
wrongly insinuated by some people. I can never use my child for
ritual. It is unfortunate that my wife had to drag me to the Sharia
Commission because she has a grouse against me. We have been having
problems with her, but that is between us. Why should I go to the
extent ofusing my child for ritual? I only beat her as a father. I
don't belong to any cult or secret society".
