The Adamawa State High Court has sentenced a father of seven identified as Abubakar Mohammed to death by hanging for killing his girlfriend and harvesting her body parts.
The convict killed his girlfriend, Christiana Augustin and removed her eyes and other body parts after a friend, Buhari Mohammed told him that he could make N10 million from someone looking for human eyeballs.
This initial stage of the story dates back to the 26th January in 2019 when Abubakar went to Christiana’s house to see her and to get her to meet him where they used to meet for their amorous adventure.
Christiana turned up at the uncompleted building where they had met in the past, but instead of the usual love making, Abubakar took out his knife, slit her throat and plucked one of her eyeballs while damaging the other one in the process of trying to remove it.
The following day, the convict took the eyeballs to Buhari who, it was said, expressed shock and chased Abubakar away with the eyes.
Abubakar was thereafter trailed and arrested after the lifeless body of Christiana was found in the uncompleted building the following day; hence, his arraignment and prosecution.
The Adamawa State High Court, presided over by Hon. Justice Bulila Ladokiya Ikaro, at the most recent sitting on the case on Tuesday, sentenced the convict for culpable homicide after he was tried and found guilty for being in possession of the human parts.
