Kaltume
Ibrahim Mai-Kaji and Aminu Ali had spent several years dating before they
eventually got married in 2013 in Kano State, when she clocked 15 years.
Surprisingly, after they got married, Kaltume refused to allow her husband have
sexual affairs with her.
Anytime she was invited to bed she would
decline. Ali had severally complained about his wife’s attitude to his parents,
but each time, he would be told to exercise patience.
He was always advised to intensify prayers
and give his wife sometime to adapt to her new environment and social status.
In his quest to solve the problem, Ali had tried several herbs on his wife, but
all in vein. Kaltume never slept with him throughout her stay with him.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Ali
sought the intervention of his father-in-law, Mallam Ibrahim Mai-Kaji, who
administered many herbs on her, but there was no improvement.
Finally, her father invited one Mallam
Shu’aibu Wanzam, a local barber, to circumcise Kultume, thinking that it would
solve her problem. Unfortunately, in the process of circumcizing her, Wanzam
removed a portion of her private part.
As a result of this, she can no longer
urinate like a normal person. The 19-year-old Kaltume currently urinates
through a tube that was carefully strapped above her sex organ, which medical
doctors confirmed was completely damaged.
When the case was reported to the Emir
Sanusi, he summoned the affected family and the ward head of the area to his
palace on Monday, March 27, 2017.
The emir wept When Kaltume’s ordeal was
narrated to him. He also sacked the ward head for allowing genital mutilation
in his area of jurisdiction.
“I
have directed the Commissioner of Police to arrest Wanzam and whoever had a
hand in this heinous crime. They will be punished. If the commissioner fails to
do something, I will personally petition the I.G of Police. I will follow this
case to its logical conclusion,” the emir warned.
