The Nigerian police have arrested one Ayuba Danbaki, 35, for allegedly killing his two-year-old daughter after an altercation with her mother in Adamawa State.
The estranged wife of Danbaki and mother of the deceased, Shiyona Ali was said to have left the girl with her father who was at a local pub in the community around 8:00 pm, after she was reportedly fed up with the child’s upkeep.
Danbaki reportedly became upset with the action of his former wife and he took the baby into the bush, strangled her with a rope and subsequently buried her in a shallow grave.
While being interrogated by the spokesperson for the state police command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, on Wednesday, the suspect confessed, saying: “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 tied a rope around her neck, dug a grave and buried her. I’m 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 useless,” he added.
