Munkaila Ahmadu, the man who killed his parents in Jigawa state, has told the police that he committed the crime as a form of Jihad.

Recall that Ahmadu, reportedly used a wooden pestle to attack his father, Ahmad Muhammad, 70, who was the village head of Zarada-Sabuwa village and his mother, Hauwa Ahmadu, 60, while also attacking Kailu Badugu, 65 and Hakalima Ahmadu, 50.

His parents died from the assault while Badugu (his neighbour) and Hakalima (his stepmother) were hospitalized.

Hakalima has been discharged, but Badugu is still under critical condition.

In a recorded video in the police custody, Mr Ahmadu said he has no regret for what he did.

“ I killed them because they refuse to accept the truth concerning the prophet Muhammad (S.W.A).

“I killed them because they abused the prophet and their punishment is death, there is no repentance for any person who abuses the Prophet.”
