A 29-year-old man identified as Mustapha Idris has allegedly killed his 20-year-old pregnant girlfriend because he was scared of what people would think when news of her pregnancy out of wedlock spreads.
The Jigawa State Police Command confirmed that Idris is currently in police net for murdering Nafisa Hashimu.
Spokesperson for the police in the state, Audu Jinjiri, said Idris and Hashimu, a divorcee, were live-in lovers at Daneji Village before she became pregnant and informed him in excitement.
Idris however, got angry and stabbed her to death.
Her body was found in a bush on the outskirts of Daneji Village about 22 kilometres from Ringim.

The suspect said, “I’m ashamed of how the society will see us after she delivers the unborn child out of wedlock, and thus I decided to terminate her life to stay away from shame.”
Jinjiri disclosed that the suspect would be charged to court to face the wrath of the law.
