Police Arrests Two Fathers for Slaughtering Their Kids for Money Rituals

The Plateau State command of the
Nigeria Police has reported the arrest of
two men for allegedly slaughtering their
kids for money making rituals.
The state Commissioner of Police, Chris
Olakpe, paraded the suspects before
journalists in Jos on September 19, 2013,
Thursday. The CP said the suspects would
be charged for murder.
The first suspect, identified as Fwanmun
Habaku, allegedly killed his three-month-
old son while the second, Polycarp
Danjuman, allegedly killed his two-year-old
daughter. Both suspects are being detained
at the police headquarters in Jos.
The CP also revealed that the arrest of the
suspects followed complaints by their
suspicious neighbours.
After the police conducted the preliminary
investigations, it has been discovered that
the suspects killed their children to enrich
themselves. Both men have admitted to the
crimes, but pleaded for mercy.
The Plateau police also paraded 15
suspects accused of various offences; and
also presented a vehicle stolen in Jos but
recovered in Benin Republic.
Chris Olakpe assured that criminality would
be reduced in the state. He warned that
any suspect arrested would not be spared,
no matter how highly placed.
The CP appealed to the public to cooperate
with the police to reduce crime in the state;
and urged police officers to intensify their
efforts and to make Plateau crime free.
