In a deeply heartbreaking incident that has shocked the residents of Kano State, a woman has allegedly poisoned her four children following news that her husband had taken a second wife.

The disturbing event reportedly took place on Friday evening in the ancient city of Kano, with unconfirmed sources suggesting that jealousy and emotional distress may have played a role in the tragic decision. Eyewitnesses and neighbors say the woman, whose name is being withheld for now, had been visibly distraught since her husband introduced a second wife into the family.

Photos from the scene show a somber crowd gathering outside the modest home, with many expressing disbelief and sorrow. “She always seemed like a caring mother,” said one neighbor, Fatima A., who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity. “None of us saw this coming.”

The four children, whose ages range between 3 and 12, were reportedly rushed to the hospital after exhibiting signs of poisoning. Sadly, multiple reports claim that they did not survive.

Local authorities have confirmed that the woman is currently in custody and that an investigation is underway. "This is a tragic case that reflects deeper issues in the home and society,” said a police spokesperson. “We urge members of the public to remain calm while we continue our investigations.”

Many Nigerians online have expressed outrage, confusion, and sadness over the case. While some have focused on the emotional trauma that polygamy can cause in unprepared households, others have called for better mental health awareness and support systems for women, especially those dealing with emotional or marital crises.
