Kano child bride, who killed husband, regains freedom after Seven years

-
A child bride, Rahma Hussein, found culpable of killing her husband seven years ago has regained freedom. Hussein, jailed at 16, was freed by the Committee on Prison Reforms and Decongestion. The committee led by Justice Ishaq Bello also facilitated the release of 30 other inmates from different custodial centres in the state on Friday. In 2014, Hussein was arrested and charged to a High Court in Kano State for stabbing her husband to death, barely 24 hours after their wedding. Delivering judgment in 2018, Justice R. A. Sadik, ordered Hussein to be ‘detained at the pleasure of the governor of the state’ because she was forcefully married and committed the offence at 16. On Friday, the committee, in its ongoing tour to decongest prisons, found Hussein worthy of benefiting from presidential pardon. Speaking after her pardon, Hussein, who was excited, thanked the committee, the governor and officials of the correctional centre for facilitating her freedom. With teary eyes, Hussein said, “I’m grateful to the committee. The officials of the correctional centre, who recommended me to be a beneficiary of this gesture, may God reward you abundantly. I am also grateful to Governor Ganduje for his mercy on me. I am happy today.’’
