Police arrest man over child’s murder

The Police command in Adamawa has arrested 29-year-old Isiaka Hassan for alleged culpable homicide in Tingno, Lamurde Local Government Area.

SP Suleiman Nguroje, the command spokesperson, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday.

He said the command received a report on Aug. 30 from Hadiza Bashiru that her five-year-old son, Abba, was missing and last seen with Hassan.

Nguroje said operatives, led by the Divisional Police Officer in Tingno, swiftly launched an operation which resulted in Hassan’s arrest.

He said, during interrogation, Hassan confessed to conspiring with another suspect, still at large, to kill the child and bury him in a shallow grave.

He added that the corpse was exhumed and taken to hospital for autopsy.

Nguroje said Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, had directed the State CID to take over the case and apprehend the fleeing suspect.

He reassured the public of the command’s commitment to ensure justice and called for continued cooperation in tackling violent crime across the state.
