Police Arrest Man In Adamawa For Killing Minor
The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested a 29-year-old man, Isiaka Hassan, for allegedly killing a five-year-old boy, Abba Bashiru, in Lamurde Local Government Area.
Police Spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
“Investigations revealed that the boy was last seen with one Isiaka Hassan. Operatives led by the DPO, Tingno Division, arrested the suspect, who confessed to conspiring with another yet-to-be-identified accomplice to kill the child and bury him in a shallow grave,” Nguroje said.
He said the police exhumed the body, which was taken to the hospital for autopsy.
Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, has directed the State CID to take over the case and ensure the arrest of the fleeing suspect.
In a separate operation, police operatives in Yola arrested one Musa Suleh of Hong LGA at Jambutu Motor Park for being in possession of stolen vehicles.
Suleh reportedly confessed to stealing a Toyota Starlet (registration number YLA-420) belonging to Babawo Abubakar of Ngurore, while another green Toyota Starlet (number JAL-861 CL) was recovered from him without proof of ownership.
The CP has ordered further investigation to trace the source of the vehicles.
He urged residents to support security efforts with timely information, assuring that suspects would be charged in court upon conclusion of investigations.
