Misbahu Salisu, a 28-year-old Nigerian man, has committed a truly heinous crime.
The man allegedly poisoned his day-old baby girl to death because he prefers a male child.
The man, a resident of Doka Baici, Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State, was on Friday arrested by the Kano State Hisbah Board.
According to a statement issued by the Deputy Commander General, Operations, Dr Mujahid AmiNooden, the suspect had informed officials of the board that he gave the day-old baby a local insect killer.
The suspect also alleged to have drugged the mother of the baby, Sa’ade, with a cup of tea that contained sleeping tablets before allegedly carrying out his criminal act.
“The suspect confessed to the crime, saying he preferred a male child but his wife gave birth to a female, which prompted him to end the baby’s life,” the statement said.
He has been handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution.
