The Niger State Police Command has paraded 23 individuals suspected of taking advantage of recent protests to vandalize the Tafa Local Government Secretariat.
Commissioner of Police Shawulu Danmamman, presenting the suspects at the command headquarters in Minna, announced that they will be charged in court.
The command also recovered some of the looted items belonging to the local government secretariat.
In addition, the Commissioner of Police showcased other recent recoveries, including 15 Pump Action Rifles seized from suspected gun runners.
Based on intelligence, an Anti-Kidnapping Unit patrol team intercepted a red Toyota Corolla (Reg. No. DKA 877 HJ) along the notorious Maikunkele-Tegina road in Niger State.
During the same period, the police arrested a man for culpable homicide following a report at Kpakungu Division about the disappearance of 65-year-old Abubakar Adawa from Barkin-Sale, Minna.
Police operatives, led by the DPO, visited the residence and questioned Mizanmil Abubakar, 29, and Aisha Abubakar, the victim’s son and wife.
A thorough search of the compound uncovered the victim’s severed body buried in a shallow grave.
Mizanmil confessed to poisoning his father’s food with rodenticide, then dismembering and burying the body, citing hatred toward his father as the motive. The suspect has been transferred to SCID for further investigation and will face prosecution upon completion.
