According to reports, Danbaki, a resident of the Rigi community in the Ga'anda District of Gombi LGA, murdered his daughter after her mother dropped her off at a local bar where he was drinking alcohol.

It was learned that Shiyona Ali, the mother of the deceased, entrusted her daughter to his care because she felt overburdened by the responsibility of caring for her.

Danbaki reportedly carried the child into the forest, tied her neck with a rope, and buried her in a shallow grave after becoming enraged by his ex-wife's actions.

When asked if he was aware of the repercussions of his actions, Ayuba responded that he was unaware and that many people in his community are unaware of the magnitude of such crimes.

While being interrogated, the suspect said;

“I killed my daughter, because I became angry as to the reason why her mother will dump her with me at a local joint. I used a rope and tied her neck, dug a grave and buried her. I am married and blessed with 6 children including the deceased. I became angry with her mother’s action. It was a mistake. I drink local beer known as”burukutu”. I want to use this opportunity to advise people not to drink beer because it is not good. It makes someone become useless. In fact, a drunk man sometimes defecate in his trouser, vomit or fall on the ground. It makes you to do something and later regret it”.
