Mohammed Dauda Ndakotsu, a farmer in Washigi village in Gbako local government area of Niger state, has reportedly killed and buried his 25 years old son, identified as Mamodu in a shallow grave following a misunderstanding.


Daily Trust gathered that on December 1 the father of the deceased sought for the assistance of four other persons from the village to help him tie his late son with a plan to take him to police for intervention over what he referred to as the son’s violent attitudes.



Three other men were identified to have aided Ndakotsu to tie the deceased before taking him away on the pretext that he will be handed over to the police in Lemu village but was later discovered to have been killed in cold blood.

It was gathered that in a desperate attempt to conceal the murder of his late son, Ndakotsu hurriedly arranged and buried the deceased in a shallow grave and after returning home the next day told his wife, the mother of the deceased, Hajia Amina, that Mamodu was handed over to the police.

The mother of the deceased became suspicious of the matter because her husband could not tell her the prison where her son was kept and that informed her decision to go into search in the nearby bush, where she discovered the corpse of her late son in a shallow grave.

Amina was said to have reported the matter to the police in Dikkon Fulani and that led to the arrest of her husband, in which he later led the police to the shallow grave.

Contacted on phone over the matter, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Richard Oguche, said he was not aware of the matter as he was attending a workshop in Kaduna, but said the matter would be investigated.
