Garba was said to have committed the crime on the grounds that his daughter had the baby out of wedlock ARTICLE | NOVEMBER 11, 2011 - 11:05AM | BY VINCENT EHIABHI
A 30-year-old man, Garba Mohammed, was yesterday remanded in prison for the murder of a day old baby, by a Minna Chief Magistrate Court in Niger state.
Garba was said to have buried the child of his daughter, Hauwa Garba, on the grounds that she had the baby out of wedlock with no one claiming responsibility.
According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed before the court, 30-year-old Garba committed the offence, which is contrary to section 235 of the Penal Code, on October 18, 2011.
Garba, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges, insisting that the baby was already dead before it was buried.
The case was adjourned to December 7, as the prosecutor, Esther Philip, requested the court not to grant bail to the accused until proper investigations have been carried out.
