‘Ill-treatment Meted to me by my Step Mother Turned me into Criminal’
A 23-year-old man Bashiru Jubril has confessed that he became criminal minded due to the ill-treatment meted to him by his step mother, following his mother’s death.
Jubril said his growing up was full of stress and suffering as his step mother never cared for his education, good feeding and clothing and treated like a slave.
He said the abuses he suffered from the woman made him to drop out of school.
Police said the suspect Bashiru was arrested for wearing a military uniform and posing as soldier in a military uniform to enjoy a free ride in a bus.
Confessing, the suspect said: “I knew that wearing army uniform without being a soldier is an offence. I know that it is impersonation because I am not a soldier. I wore the uniform because I was stranded. I came to Abeokuta to see my uncle but, when I got there I could not meet my uncle. Unfortunately for me the money I had finished. I could neither eat nor get transport fare back to Lagos. In the course of thinking how to survive I decided to wear army uniform to enable me go back to Lagos.”
He said the uniform belonged to his late father retired Staff Sergeant Jubril Lawal. He said when his father died they shared his property including his army uniform.
“We were four children of the same father and mother. When my mother died my father married another wife. The new wife who became my step mother started maltreating me because he could not bear a child for my father.”
“When I got Ordinary National Diploma in Political Science from School of Management Studies in Kano State I decided to learn tailoring in Mile 2 area of Lagos. I did not intend to rob with the uniform. I wanted to answer officer to get free transport back to Lagos. This is my first time of impersonating a soldier.”
