The police in Bauchi have arrested a middle-aged man, Lamido Gunduma, for allegedly killing his girlfriend, Jamila Saidu, and their baby and dumped their corpses in a sewage.
The Police spokesperson, Ahmed Wakil, said this in a statement on Friday.
He said the suspect conspired with his friend to abort the girlfriend’s pregnancy which led to her death and her baby.
Wakil said the police commenced investigation after the deceased mother reported the case on April 7, 2021, at Jama’are Divisional Headquarters.
He said the the following day the police discovered the decomposed body of the deceased and her baby in sewage at her boyfriend’s house, at Unguwar Yari-Mari, Jamaare.
Wakil said the suspect, after committing the crime, fled to Kwadon in Gombe State where he was arrested.
“The suspect has been charged accordingly,” Wakil said.
