The Gombe State Police Command, on Sunday, disclosed that it had arrested the suspected killers of a mother of eight, Aishatu Abdullahi.
This was confirmed by the state police command’s Spokesperson, ASP Mahid Abubakar, via the command’s X, formerly Twitter handle.
According to The PUNCH, this is coming less than 48 hours after the killing of Abdullahi by criminals over her alleged failure to surrender her mobile phone to them.
The PPRO wrote, “Police arrest suspected killers of 58-year-old, Aishatu Abdullahi (Adda Damori), 48 hours after the incident. Details later.”
The state governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, had given security agencies orders to unravel the perpetrators of the crime, adding, “I want to make it abundantly clear that there will be no escape from justice for those responsible for this vile and vicious act. Our security agencies are directed to leave no stone unturned to track down the culprits to account for their heinous actions.”
Commiserating with the government and people of the state to the bereaved family, Yahaya bemoaned the way the deceased was killed as gruesome.
“The details of this incident, as preliminarily reported by the police, are nothing short of horrifying as a dark stain.
“Our hearts bleed for the bereaved family who are grappling with an unimaginable loss, and for the Jekadafari community as well as the entire citizens who are now scarred by the traumatic aftermath of this tragic event,” he said.
