BREAKING NEWS: Father Of Man Who Killed Mother, 6 Children Wants Him Killed Without Any Trial

Malam Auwal, the father of Umar Auwal, who was accused of killing a mother and her six children, has said he should be killed without trial.

He said his son had earlier killed his sister and plucked out her eyes, apart from the other two housewives he also murdered.

Auwal, who spoke in an interview on a radio station, said: “What he committed against my younger sister and her six children, my wife’s younger sister, and her co-wife is condemnable.

“I distance myself from him.

“I don’t even want them to waste time on prosecution.

“Umar and his likes are supposed to be eliminated.

“They are not supposed to be remanded and fed with taxpayers’ money.”

Auwal, who commended the police for their handling of the case, said neither he nor his wife would attend court proceedings during the trial.

Umar was accused of murdering his aunt, Fatima Abubakar, 35, and her six children in their residence at Dorayi Gidan Kwari, Kano, Kano State.

The names and ages of the children were given as Maimuna (17), Aisha (16), Bashir (13), Abubakar (10), Faruk (7), and Abdussalam (one-and-a-half years old).

The Kano State Police Command said the suspect had confessed to the killings as well as those of two housewives in the Tudun Yola area of the state.
