According to the NSCDC Commandant in the state, Ibrahim Abdullahi, Asma'u gave birth to the baby on June 1, after she had successfully hidden the pregnancy from others but shortly after delivering the baby, she sneaked out and dumped the new born in a pit toilet.

During interrogation, she reportedly confessed to the act.

Abdullahi narrated how the suspect was caught:
