File: A Nigerian Policeman.
The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested four suspects in connection with two separate culpable homicide cases that claimed the lives of two persons in different parts of the state.
The command’s spokesman, SP Nafiu Habib, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday, saying one suspect had been arrested in connection with the killing of a 25-year-old man, while three others were apprehended over the death of a 51-year-old man allegedly attacked on accusations of witchcraft.
Habib disclosed that the first incident occurred on July 25 at about 3:28 p.m. when a 45-year-old resident of Unguwan Kur reported the stabbing of one Zahradeen Dan’Azumi Tanko, 25, by Al-Amin Hamisu Gidado, 21, in an alleged conspiracy with one Yahaya Mu’azu, who is currently at large.
He said, “The victim sustained multiple injuries and was immediately rushed to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, for medical attention. Unfortunately, the medical doctor on duty confirmed him dead on arrival.”
