“We had taken a few spoons when we noticed a harmful substance in the meal’.
“A few minutes later, my friend Alfah began complaining of stomach pains. By the time we got to a friend’s house for help, all of us were feeling unwell.”
He stated that the three of them were rushed to Jahun Hospital, where one of his friends, Muhammad Alfah, tragically died, while himself and the other friend, Isyaku Adamu, survived.
Haruna alleged that his young bride was influenced by an ex-lover who provided her with the poison, instructing her to add it to the food.
“We were married for love,” Haruna said. “She never showed any signs of resentment or worry. I’m really surprised she carried out such an evil act.”
