Nemesis
has caught up with a 24-year-old farmer, Danladi Abubakar, who allegedly
beheaded an 11-month-old girl for rituals.
Danladi,
after being arrested by the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID,
confessed that the deal was to fetch him N20,000. He was allegedly contracted
by a man in Bida, Niger State, who is said to be on the run.
The
incidence happened in Fujeregi village, Gbako Local Government Area of the
state recently.
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.
