Jigawa State High Court sitting in Ringim has sentenced the father of a four-year-old girl to death for burying her alive.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed Kazaure said Nasiru Hamisu was accused of killing his 4-year-old biological daughter Zainab and burying her alive in his room.
Prosecution counsel, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, Attorney General Jigawa State presented three witnesses before the court, including a medical doctor at Ringim General Medical Hospital, defendant’s father and the mother of the deceased and ex-wife of the defendant.
Police had last year arrested one Nasiru Hamisu for allegedly killing his daughter and burying her in a shallow grave in his house.
This incident is the latest in a series of infringements, rights violations and highhandedness by the newly formed outfit. It comes just three weeks after the Amotekun Corps were accused of killing two people in the state including a University of Ibadan (UI) student.
The killing of Alhaji Usman, a prominent herder in the state, on the day of one of his sons’ wedding, has thrown the Fulani community into mourning as they called for a thorough investigation into the incident.
Daily Trust learnt that the attack actually started in Aiyete, a Bororo settlement, about one kilometre away from Okebi, the Fulani settlement.
