The Adamawa State Police Command said it arrested a 19-year-old man, Aliyu Yaro, on Friday, for allegedly killing his three-day-old baby boy.
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.

“Aliyu said he went to his girlfriend’s house at night after receiving a call. He took the infant after sending the mother to fetch water for him.”
He further recounted that he buried the baby around 9:00 p.m. at Girpata, Mubi.
The Adamawa State Commissioner of Police, Morris Dankombo, expressed concern over the incident and ordered the case transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for thorough investigation and prosecution.
