A 37-year-old Munkaila Ahmadu said he has no regrets for killing his father and mother.
Ahmadu a Jigawa State indiegine and a singer said he killed his parents over blasphemous comments against Prophet Muhammad.
He noted that his parents mocked and called him a mad person and opposed him being a praise singer for the prophet.
“I killed them because they refuse 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,” He said.
“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,” Ahmadu said in a video recorded by the police.
“My parent doesn’t (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.
The unremorseful killer said his mother used to go to neighbouring towns to blackmail him.
She is used to tell 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,” Ahmadu said.
Ahmadu, a father of five children, said he suspected his father of having an affair with his wife.
