Justice Sanusi Ado Ma’aji delivered the judgment on Thursday, November 12, 2026, after finding the defendant guilty of the offence.
During the proceedings, the court heard that the prosecution team, led by Umma Lawan and Bello Isa Lawal, presented six witnesses and 12 exhibits to establish the case against Baita.
Justice Ma’aji said the court was satisfied that the prosecution had provided sufficient evidence to prove the charge, despite the defendant’s attempt to defend himself.
The incident occurred in 2023 when Baita allegedly entered the victim’s family home, took the four-year-old boy to a refuse dump between the Dandago and Sani Mai Nagge communities, and murdered him. He was also accused of removing one of the child’s eyes.
Following the incident, security operatives arrested Baita and subsequently charged him before the court.
The death sentence brings to an end a prolonged trial over the killing of the young boy.
