A 17-year-old Junior Secondary School 3 student of Junior Secondary School, Bwari, Abuja, Aisha Usman has allegedly committed suicide after her elder brother, Kabiru Usman, reprimanded her for getting pregnant
According to her father, Malam Usman Danladi, a businessman who resides with is family at Kuchi Kon Bwari, the death of his daughter is worrisome and heartbreaking.
Danladi said his first son, Kabiru had called him to inform him of the death of his young daughter.
On hearing that, I became confused and dismayed. I can’t remember how I even got home. I met people wailing and crying in my house.
The elder brother, Kabiru, narrated that he had summoned his mother and eldest sister, Khadija to talk to the Aisha when they realised she was pregnant out of wedlock.
On getting home, I met my sister Aisha, crying and kneeling before my mum and elder sister. I asked what the problem was, and my mother replied that Aisha was pregnant. I became furious and started to beat her.
She stood up, ran to the store where we keep our farm tools and locked the door. I knocked on the door but she refused to open. I became agitated and forced the door open only to find Aisha’s lifeless body on the floor.
We immediately took her to the hospital only for the doctor to tell us that she died before getting to the hospital.
The late girl’s mother, Sumayyah Usman told reporters she would not cry over her death because she had dragged the family’s name in the mud with her actions.
