Aisha Suleiman, who was wrongly accused of poisoning five people with pepper soup, has shared her harrowing experience after being cleared of all charges.
In an exclusive interview with ITV Radio, Aisha recounted the events that led to her near-lynching and subsequent arrest.
She denied ever cooking pepper soup for anyone and explained that tensions arose after she ended a relationship with her late boyfriend.
According to Aisha, her ex-boyfriend?s father barred her from visiting their home, and on the day of the incident, she was in a different location while the deaths occurred in Afashio.
The accusation against Aisha was sparked by a social media post that shared her photo and claimed she poisoned her boyfriend and four of his friends.
The post went viral, and an angry mob confronted Aisha, publicly humiliating and tying her up.
The mob doused her with petrol, ready to set her ablaze but authorities intervened just in time.
Aisha was arrested and charged in court but human rights activists intervened, pushing for a thorough investigation.
The investigation revealed that the victims died from carbon monoxide poisoning due to generator fumes, not from pepper soup poisoning.
Aisha was subsequently cleared of all charges.
The false accusation and subsequent mob attack have sparked outrage, with many calling for legal action against the person who raised the alarm. (The Nation)
