Police arrest two men for killing three-week-old baby in Nasarawa

The Nasarawa State Police Command says it has arrested two young men for killing a three-week-old baby in Ungwan Maina, Lafia Local Government Area of the state.

The command's Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, in a statement yesterday in Lafia, said the two suspects: Abdulkadir Ahmed and Hassan Sabo are currently in detention while further investigation is ongoing.

The statement read: "Police operatives attached to 'D' Division, Lafia, have arrested the duo of Abdulkadir Ahmed and Hassan Sabo, both males and 40yrs old of Ungwan Maina, Lafia, for killing a three weeks old child.

"Preliminary investigation revealed that on 11/10/2022, the principal suspect (Abdulkadir Ahmed) asked his friend (Hassan Sabo) to lure the mother of the deceased to his shop located opposite Correctional Facility, Lafia, under the pretext of seeking reconciliation; a lady whom he earlier cohabited with, got her pregnant and sent her away"

"Upon her arrival at the shop, Abdulkadir Ahmed took the child into his shop while Hassan Sabo engaged her in a discussion outside; suddenly the child screamed and went quiet. Abdulkadir Ahmed immediately came out of the shop and the mother enquired to know why the child screamed but was told that the child has gone to sleep. Not satisfied, she rushed into the shop and discovered the lifeless body of her child while the culprits immediately zoomed off on a motorcycle."

The statement further said the police were notified and the body was swiftly evacuated to Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital, Lafia where it was confirmed dead and subsequently deposited at the morgue for post-mortem examination.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Adesina Soyemi, immediately ordered an intensive manhunt for the culprits. The search paid off on 13/10/2022 at about 1230hrs when they were arrested after a painstaking investigation.
