A 37-year-old Islamic singer, Munkaila Ahmadu has killed his father and mother for allegedly committing blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The family resides in Gagarawa Local Government Area of Jigawa State, Nigeria.
The father-of-five-children revealed that his parents were opposed to him becoming a bege singer (one who sings the praises of Prophet Muhammad.)
Stonix News gathered that he committed the offence on Thursday when he clubbed his 70-year-old father (Ahmadu) who was the village head of Zarada community, with a pestle and killed him.
After he died, the assailant reportedly used the same pestle to kill his 60-year-old mother, Hauwa’u.
The murderer, in a recorded video while in police custody, maintained that he was not remorseful over his action.
He said his parents committed blasphemy against the Prophet and they had to die that way.
“I killed them because they refused to accept the truth concerning the Prophet Muhammad (S.W.A).
“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,” he said in the video.
“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,” he narrated.
