The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a notorious gang leader, Abubakar Idris (also known as Nishi) and his accomplices, Buhari Saidu and Musa Suleiman, for the murder of one Ibrahim Danfulani.
In a statement on Monday, the command disclosed that the incident occurred on November 27, 2024, following Nishi’s frustration over Ibrahim’s intentions to marry a woman he, Nishi, had heavily invested in financially.
“Investigation revealed that the trio, armed with knives, brutally attacked Ibrahim Danfulani, resulting in his untimely death,” the statement signed by its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh.
Adeh noted that the gang also stole 18 cows belonging to the victim as compensation for Nishi’s perceived losses.
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, led to the successful arrest of all suspects, who are now in police custody and will face prosecution to ensure justice is served,” the statement read.
