How praise-singing Prophet Mohammed led man to smashing parents to death
The father of five who smashed his father and mother to death with a pestle during the week in Gagarawa LGA, Jigawa, has explained why—and how he felt after the murder.
Ahmadu Mukaila said he has no regret. And his parents—his 70-year-old father in particular—got what they deserved from his holy anger.
“I am a praise singer and my parents used to mock me and challenged me whenever I am singing praise to Prophet Muhammad SAW,” he told police in his statement.
“They told people I was mad, and nobody should listen to me whenever I came to sing praises to Prophet Muhammad”
“They are abusing the prophet and their punishment is death.”
He also accused his father of sleeping with his wife .
Mukaila said he was about planning to release his praise album before the murder.
“I am sure I will be free before the time because God is always with the righteous. So I am not in any way regretting my action”
