According to a report by Premium Times, a bride, Fatima Abubakar, on Thursday fell inside a well and drowned while preparing for her wedding ceremony.

The accident happened in Gajaja community in Danbatta Local Government Area of Kano State.

Fatima, 16, visited her cosmetologist on Thursday morning, the day of her wedding, her father said.

The accident happened at the home of the cosmetologist, who is also the victim’s sister.

The father of the deceased, Mr Abubakar, told BBC Hausa Service that the wedding was billed to hold today.

He didn’t provide details of how Fatima fell into the well but described it as an accident.

Mr Abubakar said Fatima loved her husband to be. He said his house is now filled with relatives and friends who came to witness the wedding but instead mourned the death of the bride.

‘Now we are pleading with Hajiya Lami (the cosmetologist) whom the incident occurred at her residence. She is also a sister to the late bride. She is unconscious and unable to eat,” Mr Abubakar said.

A younger brother to the deceased, Labaran, said late Fatima and her parents were residents of Babura local government in Jigawa State, but decided to hold the wedding at Danbatta in neighbouring Kano State.

Although Nigeria’s child rights law makes marriage to anyone below 18 illegal, Kano is one of the many Northern Nigerian states yet to domesticate the law.

Child marriage is common in places like Kano due to cultural and religious beliefs.

Best Man Throws Punches At Bride And Assaults Her Family At Her Wedding

 

A brother-in-law lost his temper at his brother's wedding reception, throwing punches at the bride and her family.

Couple and Brother-in-law

A best man went on a drunken rampage at his brother's wedding and assaulted the bride, her mother and sisters, a court heard.

Tomos Rhydian Wilson lost his temper at the reception - saying his sibling should never have married his new sister-in-law.

Wilson threw punches at bride Erin Mason-George and even grabbed her by her wedding dress - pulling her downstairs, a court heard.

District Judge Gwyn Jones found Wilson, who was working at a prison officer at the time, guilty of the five charges of assault as well as two charges of criminal damage.

The 29-year-old, who was the best man at the wedding, had assaulted Erin, two of her sisters and her mother, as well as a manager at Lampeter's Falcondale Hotel, Wales.

Prosecutor Kevin Challinor said on July 27, Wilson, of Swansea, had reacted angrily when the family tried to get his brother Steffan - the groom - to go to bed as he was drunk.

While they tried to help groom Steffan upstairs, Wilson started hurling abuse at the Mason-George family, it was claimed.

He said his brother should never have married Ms Mason-George and that he was "no longer a Wilson", the court was told.

Ms Mason-George told the trial that things escalated with Wilson trying to throw punches at her.

He grabbed her wedding dress and pulled it, causing her to fall down a flight of stairs, she said.

Mr Challinor told the hearing that during the incident Wilson assaulted Ms Mason-George's mother, Linda, and her younger sister Dion, and also grabbed Ms Mason-George's other sister, Cally, by the neck, causing reddening.

Wilson was additionally charged with damaging the hotel manager's shirt and fixtures and fittings at the Falcondale.

He denied all the charges and defence solicitor Tom Roberts said the incident had been sparked by Ms Mason-George and her family.

He told the court Wilson had reacted after seeing Ms Mason-George first slap and swear at his brother, before seeing her and her family assisting Steffan up the stairs where he claimed Ms Mason-George had pushed him, causing him to fall.

Mr Roberts alleged both Ms Mason-George and her sister Cally had thrown punches at Wilson and that Ms Mason-George later threw a vase and glass bottle at him, which she denied.

Giving evidence on Tuesday morning, Harry Wilson, the other best man, said he saw Ms Mason-George "slap" groom Steffan, saying it was time for bed.

He claimed he saw Steffan fall down stairs and Wilson went to help him, but said Ms Mason-George threw punches at Wilson, which connected, while other members of her family "lunged" at Steffan.

Harry said Wilson had not assaulted anybody and had got away from the area while he helped Steffan.

Woman Stabs Friend To Death For Dating Same Married Lover

A woman identified as Monica Umoh allegedly stabbed her friend to death for dating the same married man she was seeing.

A middle-aged lady, Monica Umoh, on Thursday, stabbed her close friend simply identified as Faith to death for allegedly dating the same married man with her in Calabar, Cross River.

Vanguard gathered that the incident occurred at Nyong Idibi at 2nd Transformer, Inyanasangh, Calabar Municipality local government area when two friends started a fight over a married man they were both dating.

An eyewitness, Fred Imoh, said both ladies were dating a married man.

According to him, trouble started when the victim discovered that her close friend whom she introduced to her man had gone behind her to date and sleep with him.

Imoh said: “A fight broke out when two of their friends were having an argument over their own matter (both of them were also dating one man) that was when the deceased brought up her own case with her friend whom she accused of sleeping with her man. They started a big fight which led to Faith’s death.

“They started quarreling before it turned into a big fight when Faith (the deceased) went in search of a knife to stab Monica, but she (Monica)was faster than her. She got a knife from her mother’s shop and in the heat of the fight she stabbed Faith just below her ribs and the deceased fell on the spot.

“She ran away from the scene of the incident while Faith was bleeding profusely and before she could be rushed to the hospital she had already lost a lot of blood. She died before she got to the hospital.

“As we speak, the girl is still at large and the man in question is not well known. We only know that he is military personnel and the deceased has been deposited at the morgue.”

He told The PUNCH: “Yes, the accident is true and all of the deceased are my relatives.

“They were traveling to Yola, Adamawa State, for a visit when the unfortunate incident happened.

“You know, after the harvest and at seasons like this, people travel to visit loved ones resident in different places; and that was where they were going to.

“They left Dutsinma, Katsina State, and they had left Jigawa State and were within Bauchi State when their vehicle had a head-on collision with another vehicle.

“They were 29 in the vehicle and all of them died except the driver, who survived.
