A man simply identified as Mohammed Sale is currently in police custody for allegedly killing his own daughter, stripping her naked and dumping her dead body in the bush.
Mohammed, who is 42 years old and hails from Sabon Pegi in Mayo Belwa Local Government Area, Adamawa state, connived with his friend (now at large) where they took his daughter, Aisha Mohammed, into the bush and beat her up with sticks which resulted in her untimely death.
It all began when the suspect and father of the deceased was informed by his first wife, Zulei Mohammed, that the late Aisha was not his biological daughter as they got married even when she was pregnant for another man.
It was gathered that since then, Mohammed lost his fatherly love or affection for Aisha and subsequently divorced Zulei, the mother of the deceased, leaving behind the deceased with his 2nd his wife.
It was on Saturday 9th October, 2021, that the accused and father of 9 connived with his friend where they took the innocent and harmless girl into the bush and pretended they were going to buy fish for the family.
Upon arrival into the bush, Mohammed and his friend mercilessly and ruthlessly descended on the girl where they hit her with sticks to death, then they stripped her naked and abandoned her dead body in the bush.
While on their way back home after carrying out their mission, Mohammed was advised by his friend not to dare reveal it to anybody; instead, he should report it to the police that his daughter got missing.
As resolved, he rushed headlong and lodged his complaint of missing daughter before Mayo Belwa divisional headquarters where the police, family members in his company searched nooks and crannies of the community but to no avail.
NEWS PLATFORM learnt that it was at this juncture that the police began to suspect that he could be the one responsible for the missing girl. He was there and then interrogated but was unable to convince the police.
He was later brought to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the State Police headquarters for further investigation where he confessed to had committed the heinous crime.
In the course of investigation, the operatives of the Department were able to identify the scene of the crime where they recovered the corpse.
When contacted, the PPRO of the Command, DSP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, confirmed the incident to NEWS PLATFORM, saying that the suspect has been arrested and is being investigated.
DSP Nguroje, assured that the accused person will be charged to court for prosecution after the completion of the investigation.
