A Jigawa resident, Munkaila Ahmadu, has disclosed that he killed his parents in Gagarawa Local Government Area of the state for uttering blasphemous comments against Prophet Muhammad.
Recall that the 37-year-old suspect was nabbed by the police on Thursday after he killed his parents and injured two others.
The police said the suspect killed his 70-year-old father and village head of the Zarada community, Ahmad Muhammad, and his 60-year-old mother, Ahmad Hauwa’u with a pestle.
Ahmadu, who is a singer and member of the Tijjaniyya Islamic sect, said his parents called him mad and opposed his decision to be a praise singer for the prophet.
He said he had no apologies for his deeds.

“I killed them because they refused to accept the truth concerning the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). I killed them because they abused the prophet and their punishment is death; there is no repentance for any person who abused the Prophet.
“I am a praise singer for the prophet. This year, I intend to do a video for my song and God willing, I will do that. I will be free because God is with the righteous person. That is why I am not worrying over my action.
“My parents don’t like the Prophet Muhammad because I adore him. They called me a mad person. I pleaded with my father to support my work (praise singing), and I told him that I don’t womanise. I am not a gambler. I don’t do drugs. And I don’t steal. But he refused to.
“My mother used to go to neighbouring towns to blackmail me, telling people to reject me whenever I came to sing praises to the prophet because I am mad and I refused to work on the farm.
“I am now in police custody because, by human thinking, I did a wrong thing but in the sight of God and the Prophet what I did is the right thing,” Ahmadu said in a video recorded by the police.
He also accused his father of having an affair with his wife.
