Malam Auwal, the father of Umar Auwal, the prime suspect in the killing of a Kano mother and her six children, has urged authorities to execute him rather than keeping him in prison.
Malam Auwal called for his son’s swift punishment, describing him as useless to the society.
Recall that assailants allegedly led by Umar Auwal killed Fatima Abubakar, 35, and her six children in Dorayi Chiranchi area of Kano metropolis last Saturday.
Newsbuka reports that the victims include: Maimuna (17), Aisha (16), Bashir (13), Abubakar (10), Faruk (7) and Abdussalam (one-and-a-half years old).
The unfortunate incident has attracted public outrage across the nation, with President Bola Tinubu condemning the killings and ordering the police to ensure swift justice for the slain persons.
Meanwhile, the Kano State Police Command has confirmed that the suspect confessed to the killings, as well as a recent attack in Tudun Yola, where two housewives were murdered and their homes set ablaze.
Speaking during an interview with a radio station following his son’s arrest, Malam Auwal dissociated himself from his son.
He further alleged that Umar had killed his younger sister and plucked out her eyes a few years ago.
Malam Auwal also disclosed that he had given up on Umar, stressing that neither he nor Umar’s mother would attend his trial in court.
