Displaying investigative prowess, the FCT Police Command has made a landmark arrest that has put an end to the reign of terror by a notorious gang leader, Abubakar Idris (AKA Nishi) and his accomplices, Buhari Saidu and Musa Ahmadu Suleiman, responsible for the gruesome murder of Ibrahim Danfulani.
The incident, which took place on the 27th of November, 2024, was a direct result of Nishi’s seething frustration over Ibrahim’s intentions to marry a woman he, Nishi, had heavily invested in financially.
Investigation, according to a statement by SP Josephine Adeh, Police Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, Abuja, and made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA), revealed that the trio, armed with knives, brutally attacked Ibrahim Danfulani, resulting in his untimely death.
It added “But that’s not all, the gang also stole 18 cows belonging to the victim as compensation for Nishi’s perceived losses.
“In a dramatic turn of events, Abubakar Idris, who had fled the scene of the crime, was trailed and arrested in Nasarawa State.
“He was caught while planning on recruiting new gang members to execute his sinister plot to return and kill the woman.”
The swift and coordinated efforts of the FCT Police Command, in collaboration with residents of the Agaita community in Karu, the statement said, led to the successful arrest of all suspects, who are now in police custody and will face prosecution to ensure justice is served.
“The FCT Police Command remains steadfast in its commitment to protecting lives and property and encourages residents to report any suspicious activities or criminal elements to the nearest police station or through the following emergency lines: 08061581938, 08032003913, 08028940883, CRU: 08107314192, PCB: 09022222352.”it stated.
