An 11-year-old boy, whose stomach was partly ripped open with a sharp knife by his biological mother last week,due to the misuderstanding between his parents. The 11 year old boy is expected to be discharged from hospital today following improvement in his condition, Kano State police command disclosed on Sunday.
The young boy was admitted at the hospital last week Saturday, after his 28-year-old mother, who is now in police custody, had attempted to divide him into two in an effort to settle the child’s custody issue with his father. Kano police commissioner, Mr. Ibrahim K Idris, related newsmen that the suspect, Miss Joy Akule, had misunderstanding with her love, Mr. Thomas Kationa, which resulted to the stabbing of their son so as to end the relationship with the boy's father.
Police reported that the victim was rushed to the hospital with exposed intestines.
Miss Joy disclosed to the newsmen that her initial intent was not to kill the boy, but to cut him into two and share with his father. She continued that her relationship with the boy’s father had soured after he allegedly stopped taking care of the child. “He would not take care of him and even when I sent money for that purpose, he would not do,” she said. She further narrated that when she confronted Mr. Kationa over the issue and sought for custody of the boy, he refused to grant it.
“Because he didn’t want to take care of the boy and will not let me go with him, I decided to cut him into two so that he could take half and I would take half,” she explained.
Miss Joy admitted to using a sharp knife to cut open the boy’s lower abdomen. “I have since regretted my action,” she said, adding “I thought it (dividing the child) was going to be easy.”
Meanwhile, the police said she would be charged to court for attempted homicide when investigation is completed
