Her intention was to get money from her husband, who she claims has not been taking care of her and the children.
Brown said, “I did it because of frustration. My husband abandoned me and my children.
“Since he left us and went away, I have been suffering with my children, and I know that he has money.
“I only did it to make him bring money for me to take care of the children we had together.”
Brown and Thankgod were paraded along with 146 suspected criminals in the state for various offences.
