A 55-year-old man, Ahmadu Usman, has been arrested in connection with a suspected case of culpable homicide.
The suspect, a resident of Farfari village, Batagarawa LGA, Katsina, was arrested by the state Police Command.
The command’s spokesman, ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, while parading the suspect, said on April 1, 2024, at about 8 am, one Rahinatu Hassan, 32, from Gyanke village via Batagarawa LGA, who was heavily pregnant, was in labour and having difficulties delivering the baby.
“Hence, the services of the suspect were employed to assist the woman in safe delivery, unfortunately, the suspect, knowing fully well that he is not a trained midwife, forcefully dragged the baby out of the womb with the head severed from the body (in the process)”.
Aliyu added that upon receipt of the report, detectives were promptly dispatched to the scene and the woman was rushed to the hospital for medical attention, while the suspect was subsequently arrested.
He said during the investigation, the suspect confessed to committing the offence while an investigation was still ongoing.
