20-year-old Polycarp Tajan from
Maikatako Village in Bokkos, confessed
in an interview with newsmen in Jos,
the state capital, that he suffocated his
three-month-old baby boy (names
withheld) to enable him cut off his
tongue for money-making ritual. Tajan
said his quest for money took him to a
native doctor, who asked him to bring
the tongue of his first-born child for the
ritual.
He equally blamed his action on the
devil, influence of alcohol and greed. He
said: "I was really in need of money
and someone told me about money
ritual. I went to meet a native doctor,
who demanded the tongue of my first-
born child. "When I came home that
day, the baby was on the bed and my
wife was cooking in the kitchen. I used
the pillow to suffocate the baby."Police
sources said Tajan's wife raised the
alarm that led to the suspect's arrest.
The native doctor was still at large.
So pathetic! The heartless man killed his
own (innocent 3-month) old infant for
money? How was he ever going to
"enjoy" that money?
