Man arrested in Plateau for killing his 3-months-old daughter for ritual purposes (PICTURED)

Two men  have been arrested by the police in Plateau State for allegedly taking the lives of their own children.
Polycarp Tajan, a 20-year-old man from Bokkos Local Government Area of the state, allegedly killed his three-month-old daughter for ritual purposes while 25-year-old Fwangman Habakkuk, from Mangu allegedly killed his two-year -old son after the child urinated on his bed.
According to reports, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris Olakpe, who paraded the two suspected along with 20 others, said  the 20-year old man,  has confessed to the crime. According to him, Tajan was consulted by a herbalist who told him that if he could bring the tongue of his daughter,  he could make him rich.
Olakpe said, “Tajan sneaked into his house around 10am on September  12 as his wife was preparing food. He went to  where the baby was sleeping. He subsequently used a pillow to suffocate her.
“After the baby died by asphyxiation, the suspect used a knife and cut off the baby’s tongue. His wife came in just as he was in the act and raised the alarm.”
He said Tajan was apprehended and handed over to the police.
In the second case, Olakpe, said that ,he was arrested after beating his two-year-old son to death for urinating on the family bed.
He added that both men had confessed to the crime and would soon be taken to court.
The commissioner also paraded some suspects he described as professional car snatchers, especially a woman who, along with her accomplices, snatched a tricycle from an operator.
He said that all the suspects would be charged to court after investigations had been concluded.
