The Kano state Police Commissioner, Abbati Dikko, has ordered the immediate transfer of two housewives, Zainab and Hafsatu Musa, allegedly involved in the torture of a two year old boy, to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.
The assault which has caused outrage in Gulu town in Rimin Gado Local Government Area of the state, was committed on Friday by these women, who are married to the same man. It was reported that the women tortured and broke the legs and arms of the two year old, before their husband, Murtala Musa, came back home about 8pm.
Africa update gathered that the mother of the two year old boy and third wife of Musa, was sent packing by her husband before the incident occurred. Musa had handed his son over to his senior wife for care, oblivious of the torture experienced by the little boy.
The boy was bleeding from his nose and eye and in great pains when the father found him. He is currently been treated at the hospital, where doctors confirmed that he might have problems with his eyes.
