A drunk father, Elisha Tari, who was arrested by the Adamawa State Command for allegedly killing 2 of his children has spoken out.
The 25 years old Tari, of Himike village in Michika Local Government Area, was nabbed on Thursday, last week, for allegedly hitting 2 of his children (3 and 5 years old respectively) with stones to death.
Speaking to NEWS PLATFORM while being paraded along side 30 other suspects on Monday, the accused confessed to brutally murdering his victims.
Tari, a traditional musician, said, "I smoke indian hemp, drink alcohol and inhale snuff. I do not in any way take tramol or any other hard drugs".
He said that his wife and the mother of the deceased left her matrimonial home over 2 moths ago, and that all effort to make her return became fruitless.
He said he went to his in-laws on several occasions so as to persuade her to return back home, but that his in-laws denied him access to his wife instead kept on deceiving him.
According to him, the deceased met him on that fateful day while cooking food for them, and he asked them thus; " When is your mother returning back home?"
He said that he also asked them to say "God" but instead of saying "God" after him, they said " fire", and kept saying "fire", "fire" instead of "God".
"I became irritated and provoked with their action as a result which I picked up stones and hit them on their heads to death", Tari narrated.
He said that he has a psychological problem, and that he was once tied with chains because of mental disoder, saying, "I even ran into the bush naked due to the problem".
