Sadiya Detained, Starved For 1 Year by Husband In Yobe
Sadiya, a wife and mother of 4 has been rescued after her husband allegedly detained her in his house for one year with limited food in Nguru town, Yobe State.
Sadiya alleged that her husband, Ibrahim Yunusa Bature only fed her with kunu – a local drink – to survive on by.
She claimed he locked her up and refused to give her food because he feared his family members were trying to harm her and would succeed if she eats.
Sadiya was rescued by her mother Hadiza.
Hadiza became uncomfortable with the way her daughter sounded over the phone so she decided to travel from Kano state where she lives to Nguru where her daughter lives.
There, she found her inches from death.
Sadiya, who could barely walk when she was found, was rushed to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, where she is currently receiving treatment with her mother demanding justice against her in-law.
