An Arabic teacher has been
arrested by security operatives for allegedly strangling his student to death
in Taraba state.
The 9-year-old pupil of
Muhawshat Primary School, identified as Muhammaded Suddas Umar Yola, was
strangled to death by his teacher.
Muhammaded Suddas Umar
Yola, the son of prominent Jalingo-based businessman, went missing on Sunday
night when he went for Magrib prayer in a Mosque near their house.
However, when he did not
return home after the prayers, a search party was organized to look for him.
Meanwhile, one of his
friends told his parents how the Arabic teacher, identified as Hashiru Bala,
had been asking them about the movement of the victim as well as that of his
brothers and sisters.
It was at this point that
the teacher was called in and asked if he had seen the boy, but he initially
denied ever seeing him.
However, when operatives of
the Department of State Security (DSS) were called in, he confessed that he was
the one that strangled Suddas to death.
Hashiru later led security
operatives to a compound where he dumped his body. The deceased was his
father’s favourite and once travelled with him to Saudi Arabia on holy
pilgrimage.
