A middle aged man, on Wednesday in Kaduna slaughtered four of his children and attempted to kill himself after an alleged quarrel with his wife.
Neighbours said that the man had quarrelled with the wife
throughout the night, forcing her to leave the house located on Ahmadu Bello Street
in Kawo area of Kaduna metropolis.
Thereafter, the man allegedly locked the entrance to the house and
used a knife to slaughter the four children aged between six to one year old.
One of his children who was not in the house at the time, alerted
the ward head of the area, when he found the door to the residence locked from
inside on Wednesday afternoon.
When the neighbours and some policemen forced the door to the
house open, the children were already dead while their father was still alive
but in serious condition.
Police spokesman in the state, Zubairu Abubakar, said that the man
and the children had been conveyed to St Gerards General Hospital in Kakuri,
Kaduna.
He said that the police had commenced full investigation into the
matter
