The long arm of the law has caught up with,
Danladi Abubakar, a 24-year-old farmerwho
allegedly beheaded an 11-month-old girl
for rituals in Fujeregi village, Gbako Local
Government Area, Niger State.
The State Criminal Investigation
Department, SCID, caught Danladi
and confessed that the dirty crime was to
fetch him a paltry sum of N20,000. His
associate who contracted him for the
murderous deed, hails from Bida in Niger
State, is said to be on the run.
The Vanguard reports:
The farmer was said to have sneaked into
the room of the baby’s father, Malam
Mohammed Worogi, where he smuggled the
baby to a hidden place and beheaded her.
He also severed her private parts.
The sudden disappearance of the child soon
aroused the parent’s curiosity. The villagers
then constituted a search party but their
efforts did not immediately yield any
dividend until a special prayer was
organised.
After the prayers, Danladi came out and
confessed to the crime.
The incidence was immediately reported at
the police divisional office in Lemu town
leading to Danladi’s arrest.
He was immediately charged to Minna
Magistrate Court 7 on one-count charge of
culpable homicide punishable under
Section 222 of the panel code law.
When the charge was read to him by the
presiding magistrate, Maryam Ladidi King,
he pleaded guilty.
