TRAGIC!!!! Mother pushes 4years old daughter into well

A 40-year-old woman, Kuburat Bello, has allegedly pushed her neighbour’s four year-old daughter, Happiness Solomon, into a dry well.

The incident occurred at 1, Haruna Street, Fadeyi, Lagos, following a quarrel between the suspect and Happiness’ mother.

Kuburat was said to have been arrested after her own daughter told neighbours that it was her mother who pushed Happiness into the well.

Her little daughter, it was gathered, told neighbours how her mother allegedly lured the deceased to the side of the well and pushed her inside.

The Nation gathered that the matter was reported at the Fadeyi Police Station. It was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, following which she was charged with murder before a Yaba Magistrate’s Court.

Her plea was not taken as the court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case.

Magistrate Mrs S K Metepo ordered that she be remanded at Ikoyi Prison, adding that the case file should be sent to the Director, Public Prosecution (DPP), for advice.

The matter was adjourned for DPP advice.
