In a statement issued on Saturday and signed by the command spokesperson, CSP Suleiman Nguroji, it was disclosed that the baby was the child of Yaro’s girlfriend.
The suspect hails from Kwacham Ward in Mubi North Local Government Area of Adamawa State, the statement revealed.

During interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime and led the police to the burial site, where the baby’s remains were exhumed.
