which he intends to use in purchasing cows.
The command's spokesman D. S. P Muhammad
Ibrahim said the arrest of Alti, was sequel to a
complaint that the suspect has earlier in the day
took the boy to his farm only to return without
him and could not give a convincing explanation
about the boy's whereabouts.
D. S. P Ibrahim explained that, following the
failure of Alti to convince the grandfather of the
deceased when he enquired about the
whereabouts of his grandson sparked suspicious
about the I'll motives of Alti which led to the
involvement of the Police in the matter.
According to the PPRO, following the
dissatisfaction of the grandfather by the
explanation of his son, he mobilized a search
team, which on arriving the farm found the
mutilated body of the
deceased child.
"The grandfather mobilized some men for a
search and unfortunately on reaching the farm,
they discovered the dead body without a head",
he added.
D. S .P Ibrahim maintained that, the grand father
(Alti Alhaji Guja) reported the matter to the Police
which led to the arrest of the murderous father;
who also confessed in the course of investigation
to have killed his son with his own hands using a
stick and a machete in anticipation of a million
Naira from one Alhaji Sange Hassan of the village.
The principal suspect Alti Bappa while fielding
questions from newsmen confessed to have
committed the crime, saying that it was Alhaji
Sange Hassan that motivated him to bring a
human head for N 1Million just as he blamed the
devil for manipulating his spirit to commit such a
hideous crime while expressing suitable penitence
for Allah's forgiveness.
Bappa said he wanted to use the money to buy
cattle for rearing and also take adequate care of
his family, most especially his aged parents.
However in his response, the alleged ritualist,
(Alh. Sanje Hassan) who is the ward head of Ganji
village denied the allegation, insisting that it was
a set up aimed at blackmailing his person.
D.S.P Muhammad said that as soon as
investigations are concluded the suspects will be
charged to Court for prosecution. - Leadership.
