The suspected parents’ killer in Jigawa State, Munkaila Ahmadu, has told the police that he committed the offence as a Jihad because his parents mock him while performing his religious rites.
Daily Trust on Sunday reports that Ahmadu, a resident of Zarada-Sabuwa village of Gagarawa LGA in Jigawa State, reportedly used a wooden pestle to attack his father, Ahmadu Muhammad, 70, who was the village head of Zarada-Sabuwa village, and his mother, Hauwa Ahmadu, 60, while also attacking Kailu Badugu, 65, and Hakalima Ahmadu, 50.
His parents died from the assault while Badugu (his neighbour) and Hakalima (his stepmother) were hospitalized with varying degrees of injury. Hakalima has been discharged, but Badugu is still on admission under critical conditions.
Speaking further on the arrest with our reporter on Saturday via the phone, the spokesman of the police in Jigawa State, DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam, said the suspect has admitted to the crime and did not show any remorse.
The spokesman added that the suspect revealed that his parents used to call him a mad man whenever he was doing things concerning his religion.
“He told police investigators this and other reasons led him to kill them, and he has no regret, adding that he was ready to face the law,” he said.
