Teacher strangles son to death, faces life jail


   A Minna Magistrates’ Court on Friday ordered the remand
of a 38-year-old Arabic teacher, Bashiru Isah, accused of
strangling his own son.
Isah was arraigned on a one count charge of culpable
homicide, punishable under Section 221 of the Penal Code
Law.
     The Police prosecutor, Insp. Emmanuel Danladi, told the
court that one Aisha Bashiru, wife to the accused person,
reported the matter at Lapai Police Division on Sept. 19.
Danladi said the complainant alleged that on the same date
at about 1:15 am, her husband, a resident of Ebbo village in
Lapai, took their son into his room and strangled him to
death with his hands without any reasonable excuse.
    He said Isah admitted committing the crime during police
investigation.
When the charge was read to the accused person, he
pleaded guilty.
However, the Magistrate, Maryam King, said the court
would not record the plea of the accused because it lacked
jurisdiction to try the case.
King therefore directed the police to forward the case file to
the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
She adjourned the matter till Oct. 26, for further mention.
