How son joined own mother to beat father to death in Niger—Police



The Niger State Police Command has arrested  a 50–year old housewife,
Hafsat Aliyu and her son, Babangida Usman, for allegedly beating one Ali
Haruna to death.

It was gathered that the incident occurred on April 13, 2019, behind Shango
Primary School in Chanchaga Local Government Area of the state.

It was learnt that Usman and his mother attacked the deceased during a
disagreement, as Usman said that his father was fond of assaulting his
mother.

According to him, he merely attempted to protect his mother from the
father’s wrath when he slumped and died.

“My mother was not safe with my father because of his temperament. Every
day, there would be issues that would escalate to a fight. I never knew he
would die, I was only protecting my mother,” he said.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammad Abubakar, confirmed the
incident, adding that the suspects admitted to the crime.

Abubakar said Usman and his mother inflicted injuries on the deceased, who
died while being taken to Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida Specialist Hospital
for treatment, adding that the suspects would be charged to court after
investigation.
