According to reports, the police arrested the father of nine after his daughter’s corpse was discovered in the bush in the Mayo Belwa area of the state.
Mohammed Sale, 42, was arrested by security operatives of the Adamawa State Police Command for allegedly killing his 16-year-old daughter.
After his wife, Zulei Mohammed, told him she, Aisha, wasn’t his daughter, he lost affection for her
Angered by the confession, Mohammed conspired with a companion (who is currently at large) to kidnap the victim and take him into the bush on Saturday, October 9, 2021, under the premise of buying fish for the family.
Midway through the walk, however, the suspect and his friend descended on the girl, hitting her with sticks until she died.They removed her clothes and dumped her body in the bush.
Mohammed was encouraged by his friend to call the police and report his daughter missing while driving back home.
He went to Mayo Belwa district headquarters and filed a complaint about Aisha’s disappearance.
Police and family members scoured every nook and cranny of the neighborhood, but they were unable to locate Aisha.
It was gathered that at some point, the police began to suspect that Mohammed could be responsible for the missing girl. He was interrogated there and then but failed to convince the police.
He was later brought to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the State Police headquarters for further investigation where he confessed to the crime.
