the community, with many calling for justice to be
served. While
being interrogated by the PPRO of the Police Command, SP Suleiman Yahaya
Nguroje, on Wednesday, the suspect confessed thus: “I killed my daughter, because
I became angry as to the reason why her mother will dump her with me at a local
joint. “I used a rope and tied her neck, dug a grave and buried her. I am
married and blessed with six children including the deceased. I became angry
with her mother’s action. It was a mistake. “I drink local beer known as
‘burukutu’. I want to use this opportunity to advise people not to drink beer
because it is not good. It makes someone become
useless.” The
police have assured the public that the suspect will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law. The mother of the deceased, Shiyona, reported the
matter to the police command on August 28th, 2023, which led to
