KANO, Nigeria – Police say a child bride forced into marriage in Nigeria prepared a poisoned meal that has killed her groom and three of his friends.


They quote 14-year-old Wasila Umaru as saying she used rat poison in the food because she was forced to marry a man she did not love.

The couple was married last week. The 35-year-old groom had invited a dozen friends to celebrate at his village 60 miles from the north Nigerian city of Kano over the weekend.
