Plateau State police command has apprehended a 20-year-old man for killing his three-month-old daughter for ritual purposes.
Another 25-year-old father was also arrested for killing his two-year -old son after the child urinated on his bed.
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris
Olakpe, who paraded the two suspected along with 20 others, said the
20-year old man, Polycarp Tajan, from Bokkos Local Government Area of
the state has confessed to the crime.
According to him, Tajan was consulted by
a herbalist who told him that if he could bring the tongue of his
daughter, he could make him rich.
Olakpe said, “Tajan sneaked into his
house around 10am on September 12 as his wife was preparing food. He
went to where the baby was sleeping. He subsequently used a pillow to
suffocate her.
“After the baby died by asphyxiation,
the suspect used a knife and cut off the baby’s tongue. His wife came in
just as he was in the act and raised the alarm.”
He said Tajan was apprehended and handed over to the police.
In the second case, Olakpe, said the
25-year-old Fwangman Habakkuk, from Mangu, was arrested after beating
his two-year-old son to death for urinating on the family bed.
He added that both men had confessed to the crime and would soon be taken to court.
The commissioner also paraded some
suspects he described as professional car snatchers, especially a woman
who, along with her accomplices, snatched a tricycle from an operator.
He said that all the suspects would be charged to court after investigations had been concluded.
