A Jigawa-based man, Mustapha Idris, has explained why he killed his girlfriend, Nofisa Hashimu.
According to him, she got pregnant for him and he felt the development would bring shame on him because it was out of wedlock.
“I’m 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 spite of the confession, however, Idris has been sentenced to death.
Justice Ahmed Kazaure found him guilty of the crime and sentenced him to death by hanging.
Reports say Mustapha and late Nafisu, a divorcee, were live=in=lovers in Daneji village. On January 12, 2020, she was found in a pool of her blood. 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.
