A 32-year-old man, Musa Adamu has been arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command for allegedly killing his 4-day-old baby girl.
Musa Adamu of Kwantaresha in Sabongari local government was said to have been dating the mother of the child, Jikan Yar Sale who in turn got pregnant for him out of wedlock.
The incident was said to have occurred on Tuesday.
Apparently he wasn’t ready to take responsibility for the child but for the intervention of family members he claimed to have had a change of mind.
According to a source four days after the woman gave birth to the baby, Adamu visited her pretending to check up on the baby but not knowing he had other intentions.
“The mother of the baby happily brought the baby to him, not knowing that he had an ulterior motive. The mother left him with the baby and stepped out of the room for some household chores. The suspect used the opportunity to poison the baby,” the source said.
The spokesman of the command, Aminu Lawal who confirmed the arrest stated that the suspect is being detained at the Sabongari police station and would be transferred to State Security Service headquarters in Kaduna for further investigation.
