A suspect identified as David Moses has confessed to the m8rder of a school nurse, Chinyere Anaene and a 14-month-old child, Nanenther Asher Yese, at Clear Hope Foundation Academy in the Dawaki area of Abuja.
Moses, a security guard deployed to the school, made the confession at the Federal Capital Territory police command on Friday, August 1, 2025, Punch reported.
According to the suspect, he and his accomplice identified as Sunday Irimiya, planned the murder and demanded N250 million from the victim’s families before settling for N3 million.
“What brought me here is that I k!lled a child with a nurse in School on July 23. Me and my friend, we demanded for N250 ransom. Later on, we later settled for N3 million. Which we collected,” he said.
He said the incident took a violent turn when a dispute over the ransom money broke out between him and Sunday.
Moses added that he later sought help and eventually confessed to the police after receiving treatment in a hospital.
“When we collected the money and were sharing it, that was when we had an issue. My friend st@bbed me with a knife, took the money, and ran away. I struggled and took myself to someone’s house and told the person what was going on. But I didn’t tell the full truth at that time because I was afraid the community might have k!lled me immediately,” he explained.
“I insisted on seeing the police so they could take me to the hospital and I could explain the whole story properly. The man told me to wait while he called the police. When the police came, they took me to the hospital. After I received treatment, they began to ask me what happened, and I started narrating the whole story from the beginning.”
Detailing how the school nurse who gave him money for food that same day, was k!lled, he said;
“I went to call her from her class. When I called her, I told her I wanted to show her something near the front toilet where Sunday was hiding. He came out from behind and held the woman. He put a rope around her neck and started strangling her she struggled but eventually became weak.”
He said the child was later also taken and k!lled at Sunday’s insistence.
