Police in Kano have arrested two housewives, Zainab and Hafsatu Musa, for allegedly torturing and breaking the legs and arms of a two-year-old boy.
The women are married to the same man but the child belongs to the third wife, who had packed out of the house. The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Magaji Majiya, said the incident occurred on Friday.
According to him, when the women’s husband, Murtala Musa, came back home about 8pm, he met his two-year-boy laying in critical condition.
The PPRO said on seeing the condition of the boy, Musa rushed him to the hospital where it was confirmed that his legs were broken and that blood was oozing from his nose and ears, while doctors said he might have problems with his eyes.
