A housewife in Funtua town of Katsina State has woken from a night's sleep to find a mysterious 6-inches nail driven into her head.
The incident was made more bizarre by the fact that she did not know when or how it happened to her.
Mrs. Adama Shuaibu was hale and hearty when she reportedly left for her room on Wednesday night, but her neighbours woke up the following morning to meet her looking depressed and unusual.
Apparently, while she slept, some cruel persons had crept into her room and drove the nail into her skull.
Her neighbours were, however thrown into a panic, when they realized that she was a victim of a horrible plot while asleep.
Shuaibu's case, one of her relations told Saturday Sun, was a mystery.
He swore that they would not rest until the culprits were found and made to face the law.
The mother of the victim, Hajia Hadiza, who was still in shock on Thursday over the incident, however, pointed out that Adama's co-wife named, Rabi, had been arrested by the police already. She claimed Rabi had been having an endless quarrel with Adama.
Amidst sobs, Hajia Hadiza said whatever her daughter had done, she did not deserve the horror that had befallen her in the hands of the evil doers.
It was learnt that the woman was rushed to Funtua General Hospital but was immediately referred to ABUTH, Zaria, for specialist examination.
A nurse at Funtua General Hospital told Saturday Sun that Adama's case was horrible and puzzling.
'I don't know how to explain her situation The lady could eat but could not talk and her behaviour was abnormal. Definitely, she was not looking like any other human being.
We cannot equally rule out the chances that she was under the influence of a strong charm for her to have been ignorant of a nail being driven into her head", the nurse said.
Saturday Sun learnt that the Chairman of Funtua Local Government, Alhaji Muntari Dandutse, had sympathized with the victim and donated the money for her to be taken to ABUTH immediately for a possible removal of the nail.
The Police Area Commander in Funtua, Mr. Mike Ogbudu, declined comments when contacted, but sources close to his office confirmed that the circumstances that led to the horror were under investigation.
At the residence of the mother of the victim, a horde of people were seen trooping in to sympathise with the family and to make inquiries.
