A 29-year-old, identified as Mustapha Idris, has been
sentenced to death by hanging by the Jigawa State High court for killing his
pregnant girlfriend, Nafisa Hashimu.
Mustapha and late Nafisu, a divorcee, resided in Daneji
village in the State.
Following the police investigation, it was discovered that
Mustapha slit the throat of late Nafisa, leaving her to die in the pool of her
blood.
When interrogated, the suspect initially denied the
allegation but later confessed to committing the crime.
Idris confessed that he killed Ms Nafisu after she told him
she was three months pregnant
“I killed her to avoid the shame of giving birth outside
wedlock.
“I am ashamed of how the society will see us after she
delivers the unborn child out of wedlock, and thus I decided to terminate her
life to stay away from shame,” he said in court.
In a ruling, the presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Kazaure,
found him guilty and sentenced him to death by hanging.
