The convict who was 24 years old when the incident happened, lured his son to the farm on July 13, 2013, in Ganji suburb of Gombi LGA of Adamawa State and beheaded him.

When Alti returned home alone, his father, Alhaji Guza, was said to have asked about his grandson but he told him that he will come later and a formal report was made to the police when the toddler failed to return.
