Why I shot my father dead with AK-47 – Police Sergeant, Linus Wadzani explains
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A police sergeant, Linus Wadzani, who allegedly shot his father to death in the Tudu area of the Maduganari community behind the Borno State Police Command headquarters in Maiduguri, Borno State, has confessed his reasons for committing the murder.
Wadzani allegedly shot his father multiple times with an AK-47 rifle following a heated argument between the two of them.
State Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Kenneth Daso, while speaking with journalists on the incident, disclosed that Wadzani had confessed the reasons behind his criminal action during interrogation by homicide detectives.
According to the PPRO, during interrogation, Sergeant Linus confessed to being under the influence of alcohol and other hard substances when he committed the crime.
The police spokesman however added that a forensic team from the command had obtained blood samples of the sergeant to determine his mental status.
He added that investigation into the homicide had continued.
Earlier, while narrating how the incident occurred, the PPRO said Sergeant Linus got home at about 4:30 pm on Sunday and had a heated argument with his father.
He said the argument led the policeman to shoot his father multiple times with an AK-47 rifle, killing him instantly.
The police spokesman added that when policemen visited the compound of the deceased identified as Wadzani Natsiri, a family member told them that when Linus got home, there was no one except his father.
He added that no one could therefore give an account of what transpired.
The PPRO said a police patrol team put the situation under control when they received a distress call.
Wadzani is a Mobile Police personnel with Mopol 6, Maiduguri. He is currently serving as a security detail at the Borno State House of Assembly.
Daso also disclosed that the deceased father of the sergeant was a retired Assistant Superintendent of Police.
He said he once served at the state police command with the Mounted Unit of the Force.
Bitcoin reached a record high above $90,000 on Wednesday, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency gained from President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to ease regulation on digital assets.
Bitcoin surged to a peak of $91,000 before settling at $90,670.
The volatile asset has soared since Trump’s US presidential election victory last week, repeatedly setting new records.
Trump had pledged during his campaign to make the United States the “Bitcoin and cryptocurrency capital of the world.”
His previous term included corporate tax cuts that boosted market liquidity, encouraging cryptocurrency investment.
In September, Trump announced he and his sons, along with entrepreneurs, would launch a digital currency platform called World Liberty Financial. However, its sales launch earlier this month was lacklustre, with only a fraction of tokens sold.
Cryptocurrencies have drawn global attention, marked by extreme volatility and the collapse of major industry players, including the FTX exchange.
In the lead-up to the election, Trump reportedly became the first former president to use Bitcoin in a transaction, buying burgers at a New York restaurant that hailed it as a “historic transaction.”
