Nasiru Musa, a 30 year old man has been apprehended by the Niger State police command for allegedly strangling his seven months old daughter.
It was learnt that the suspect on May 20, 2019, took his deceased child to an uncompleted building, where he allegedly strangled the infant while her mother was asleep.
His evil deed was discovered when the mother of the baby woke up and could not find her child by her side. She raised an alarm and the matter was reported to the Nasko police division.
Police investigation led to Musa’s arrest and after much interrogation, he confessed his crime. According to him, he was hypnotized into killing her because he doesn't understand why he would kill his flesh and blood.
“I gave birth to my daughter out of wedlock and we (the mother and him) are preparing for our wedding before this happened. I cannot explain why I took her life; people will not believe me; it is like somebody hypnotised me I find it very difficult to explain.
"How am I going to explain to my fiancé what transpired? I know that is the end of (preparations for) the marriage; she will never forgive me and my friends will desert me.”
Asked if he had plans to use the deceased for rituals, Musa said
"God forbid. Magama people don’t use their children for rituals and that is why I cannot explain how I killed my own daughter.”
