16-year-old girl hacks her father to death over marriage to her married boyfriend. The police in Abuja have arrested a 16-year-old girl named Emani Kure, for hacking her 40-year-old father, Kusha Kure, to death at their home in the Karavan village, Bwari Area Council of the Abuja FCT on March 11th because he refused to allow her marry her 24 year old married boyfriend, Nasiru Musa.

According to The Sun, Emani and Musa, had been dating for about two years. Her father who wasn’t in support of their relationship, withheld his support for their union when Musa expressed the desire to marry her.

When interrogated, Emani confessed to killing her own dad.

“I killed my father because he did not allow me marry my boyfriend, Nasiru Musa. We have been dating for two years. My father has beaten me several times, to stop me from marrying Nasiru. Around 3.00am on March 11, my mother told me while we were sleeping outside, to go into my father’s room where he was sleeping. She said that I should take his cutlass and kill him. I ran to where my father always keeps his cutlass and went to his room. I cut him on the neck with the cutlass while my mother held his leg. After killing him, I ran away to the house of my friend, Regina. The incident was reported to the police at Bwari Police Division. Nasiru did not know that I wanted to kill my father. He was shocked when he heard that I killed my father.”
