Kano State Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old housewife, Hauwa Lawal, of the Rurum village in the Rano Local Government Area of the state for allegedly pushing her 35-year-old rival, Zuwaira Sani, and her 18-month-old son into a nearby well.

The command’s spokesperson, DSP Abdullahi Haruna, who confirmed the incident on Monday, said the suspect engaged in a dispute with her rival, which led to a scuffle.
