TSAKA MAI WUYA

About this Novel

"Hajiya Rahama, we kindly request that you confirm the details of your testimony in court regarding the accusation you have made against your driver, Yusuf, for the alleged murder of your only daughter. Did the incident indeed occur? Did you apprehend him, Hajiya?" The courtroom was packed with onlookers, all gripped by the somber title of the case. Hajiya Rahama took a deep breath and began her account. "The incident took place on a Friday evening. My daughter, Safara'u, had returned home from school as usual and headed to the refrigerator to find her beloved chilled Maltina. It was her preferred beverage, and she seldom indulged in snacks. Regrettably, we had run out of Maltina, so she called for Yusuf, our driver, and dispatched him to fetch her a cold one. After a while, he returned with the drink for her and retired to his quarters. I assumed she was resting in her room, but as dusk fell, I grew concerned and decided to check on her. To my utter shock, I discovered her lifeless in her bed, her body covered in foamy bubbles. Our doctor later confirmed that my daughter, Safara'u Tasha, had been poisoned, leading to her untimely demise.
