The Gombe State Police Command has arrested two young men in connection with the killing of 22-year-old Dauda Ahmed in Kumo, Akko Local Government Area.
The suspects, identified as Babayo Musa, 20, and Zaidu Sani, 18, allegedly conspired with two other accomplices still on the run to attack the victim with machetes over suspicions of motorcycle theft.
According to police reports, the incident occurred on Tuesday morning at Jauro Musa Quarters, where Ahmed was ambushed and sustained deep wounds to the head and stomach. He was rushed to the General Hospital in Kumo but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Buhari Abdullahi, described the killing as a \u201cclear case of criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide,\u201d stressing that jungle justice remains a crime regardless of the allegation involved.
\u201cTwo suspects have been arrested and have confessed to the attack. The remaining suspects, identified only as Sulaiman and Usama, are still at large,\u201d Abdullahi said.
\u201cNo one has the right to take the law into their own hands. Such acts undermine the justice system, and all those responsible will face the full wrath of the law.\u201d
The matter was first reported by the victim\u2019s elder brother, Dahiru Ahmed of Sarkin Yaki Quarters, prompting the Divisional Police Officer of Akko Division, CSP Adam Ngubdo, to lead a team to the crime scene. The suspects were later tracked and taken into custody.
The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution, while police have urged residents to report crimes through official channels rather than resorting to violence.
\u201cWe appeal to the public to remain law-abiding and assist in tracking the fleeing suspects,\u201d the police spokesman added.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
