THE Niger state police command has arrested a middle-aged man said
to be a drug addict, over allegation of killing his three-month-old
son, after which he buried him at a yet-to-be identified place around
Saiki area of Minna, the state capital.
It was shocking for the residents after the suspect, Bala Mohammed, currently at the police custody, confessed to the crime.
Nigerian Tribune further gathered that Mohammed allegedly overpowered
Shamsiya, the mother of the baby, in an ensuing brawl in his one-room
apartment, before he took hold of the boy.
It was further leant that the woman rushed to her family house and
raised the alarm over the safety of her son, but the suspect had already
taken the baby to an unknown destination before the rescue team
mobilised to the house.
Further checks revealed that by the time Mohammed returned, he told
the people that the boy had “embarked on a journey from where he will
not return soon.”
An insider source alleged that the suspect had initially attempted to
terminate the pregnancy, but for the insistence of the wife.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Pius Edobor, confirmed the incident, adding that investigations were ongoing.
