35-year-old Haruna Ezekiel has been arrested by the police for allegedly killing his 80-year-old paternal uncle over witchcraft allegation in Bauchi State.<\/p>\n

The State Police Spokesperson, SP Ahmed Wakil, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, December 8, 2022, said the suspect had confronted the deceased, Sunday Saleh, accusing him of initiating his son into witchcraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wakil explained that the suspect hit the victim with a stick on the head, dragged the body into his house and set the entire house ablaze.<\/p>\n

The PPRO added that the victim\u2019s body was burnt beyond recognition. The suspect therefore packed the burnt body and buried it in a shallow grave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“On the 06th December 2022, Information received by Tafawa Balewa Divisional Police headquarters revealed that on the 05th December 2022 complainant (name withheld) ‘m’ aged 44yrs of Gongo village while returning from market, he saw flame coming out from the house of one Sunday Saleh (Deceased) \u2018m\u2019 aged 80yrs old of the same address,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“He rushed to the scene to ascertain what was happening. On arrival, he met one Haruna Ezekiel (suspect) \u2018m\u2019 aged 35yrs of the same address at the scene and discovered that he killed and burnt the said Sunday Saleh inside the house. He (the suspect) later, dug a shallow grave and buried the body behind the burnt house.<\/p>\n

“Preliminary investing revealed that the victim is a paternal uncle to the suspect, who alleged to have initiated the suspect\u2019s son \u201cChomwanda\u201d into witchcraft.<\/p>\n

“On investigation, it was revealed that the suspect discovered that the victim who is now deceased initiated his son into witchcraft unknowingly.<\/p>\n

“The suspect was told by his son that the victim gave him a piece of meat to eat some days ago. Later, the victim met the son and told him that the meat he ate was an initiation into witchcraft and that requires his father (the suspect) must be sacrificed in the process.<\/p>\n

“On hearing this, the suspect was furious and confronted the victim about the matter, as the victim has long been suspected to be notorious for witchcraft.<\/p>\n

“The victim (Sunday Sale) apologized to the suspect on the matter but the suspect was short-tempered and hit the victim with a stick on the head and fainted unconsciously.<\/p>\n

“He dragged the victim\u2019s body into his house and set the entire house ablaze. As a result, the victim\u2019s body was burnt beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

“The suspect, therefore swiftly packed the burnt body and buried it in a shallow grave behind the house.<\/p>\n

“While reacting to the ugly incident, the Commissioner of Police CP Aminu Alhassan psc (+) frowned at the action of the suspect, who instead of reporting the to Police for proper investigation and prosecution, he took the law into his own hands, by gruesomely murdered the person he was suspecting without any recourse of the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
