The Bauchi State High Court presided over by Justice
Yelim S. Bogoro has sentenced a 40-year-old man,
Ibrahim Idris, to death by hanging for killing a six-
year-old girl after he failed in his attempt to rape her.
Idris was dragged to court by the state Director Public
Prosecution, Mr. Dawud Yakubu, who charged him for
culpable homicide contrary to section 221 of the penal
code.

Dawud told the court that on September 14, 2012, the
accused called the deceased, six-year-old Asiya
Mohammed, in to his room with the intention to rape
her, and when she refused, he used his knife and cut
her throat, and put the head in a bag and threw it
into a water channel.

He said the body of the deceased was recovered and
taken to the General Hospital Darazo for postmortem,
before it was handed over to her parents for burial.
He called five witnesses and presented the axe and
knife that he used to cut her throat of the deceased as
exhibit.

The witnesses testified that he made a confessional
statement.

In her judgment, Justice Bogoro said the confessional
statement of the accused was direct and held that the
prosecution had proved his case.

She said: “I here by sentenced you to death to be
hanged by the neck till you die,”
She added that the convict has the right to appeal
within 30 days.
