  In an extreme case of hatred for an ex-spouse, 44-year-old Sunday Ibrahim, is alleged to have strangled his 14-year-old son, Musa Ibrahim, to spite his ex-wife, following the dissolution of the couple’s marriage by a court in Abuja.

• The abominable act happened in Kabusa village in Apo area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

• As Sunday Sun learnt from the Commissioner of Police, FCT Police Command, Mr. Mohammed Mustapha, the court granted the ex-wife custody of the couple’s children. He said that Ibrahim’s primary reason for the abominable act was to cause the ex-wife absolute heartbreak and ensure that she would never see the teenage son again.

• After killing the son, Ibrahim ran to the house of his uncle, Haruna Isah, who resides at Airport road, Abuja, to confess that he had killed Musa.
  Shocked to the marrow, Isah promptly reported the matter at the Ido Police Station; he also arrested Ibrahim and handed him over to the Apo Police Station, from where the case was subsequently transferred to the homicide section of the FCT Criminal Investigation Department of the police command.

• When detectives took Ibrahim back to his residence to conduct a search, they discovered the sandals of the deceased teenager in the father’s room. Sunday Sun further gathered that Ibrahim had previously attempted to kill his 17-year-old daughter, Maimuna Ibrahim, by serving her poisoned food. Fortunately, her sixth sense saved her and she did not eat the food. Ibrahim was said to have quickly thrown the poisoned food away.

• When she spoke with Sunday Sun reporter, Ibrahim’s ex-wife, Zanaib Ibrahim said: “I sued my former husband for divorce and the court dissolved our marriage in 2015. The court granted me custody of our six children, to take care of them. But my ex-husband had been monitoring Musa. He went to where the boy was learning tailoring and bought him suya and soft drink, which he used to deceive and lure him away and then strangled him.“He did it to punish me.
