Nigerian Couple Torture 9-Year-Old Daughter To Death On Witchcraft Allegations
Nigerian couple has allegedly tortured their daughter to death in Adamawa State, SaharaReporters has learnt.
The couple, Yakubu Isa Arisko, 36, and Veronica Linus, 34, reportedly conspired and murdered their daughter, Eunice Yakubu, whom they accused of practising witchcraft.
They reportedly tied the 9-year-old with a rope and left her in the sun after accusing her of bewitching her stepmother, Veronica Linus.
Aside from tying up the minor, her stepmother who is four months pregnant, also reportedly poured hot water on her, leading to her death.
The spokesperson for Adamawa State Police Command, SP Suleiman Nguroje told SaharaReporters on Monday that the incident happened on April 13, 2024, at Gidan Madara in the Mubi South Local Government Area of the state.
“The man had divorced the deceased person’s mother over the same witchcraft allegation after bearing four children for him. He married his present wife, Veronica; the two now accused the deceased of being a witch like her mother.
“They tortured the kid to death and were apprehended. They’ll be arraigned in court for the alleged offences of criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide contrary to sections 60 and 192 of the penal code of Adamawa State,” Nguroje said.
