Munkaila Ahmadu, who killed his parents in Jigawa State's Gagarawa Local Government Area, claimed he did so because they made blasphemous remarks about the Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W).
The 37-year-old singer used a pestle to kill both of his parents and injure two others in Zarada Sabuwa village in Jigawa State's Gagarawa Local Government Area in northwest Nigeria.
According to The Media, the member of the Tijjaniyya Islamic sect said his parents mocked him and called him a lunatic for singing praises to the prophet.
Nigerian police have now apprehended him.
"I killed them because they refused to accept the truth about the Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W)," Ahmadu explained.
"I killed them because they abused the prophet, and their punishment is death; there is no forgiveness for anyone who abused the Prophet," he continued.
"I am a prophet's praise singer; this year, God willing, I intend to make a video for my song; I will be free because God is with the righteous; that is why I am not concerned about my actions. My parents did not like the prophet Muhammad because I adore him; they called me a lunatic. I begged my father to support my work (praise singing), and I told him that I don't womanize, gamble, do drugs, or steal, but he refused. My mother used to blackmail me by going to neighboring towns and telling people to reject me whenever I came to sing praises to the prophet because I am insane and refuse to work on the farm," he explained.
"I am now in police custody because, in human terms, I did the wrong thing, but in the eyes of God and the Prophet, what I did was correct," he concluded.
