The Gombe State Police Command has paraded an 18-year-old boy, Mustapha Adamu Isa alias Abbati, who allegedly killed a woman, Aishatu Abdullahi Adda Damori.
LIB reported that the mother of eight was brutally murdered by unknown assailants in her bedroom last Friday at Jeka Da Fari Quarters.
Mustapha, who said the victim was his friend’s mother, also admitted to have deliberately implicated one Idris Abubakar Danjauro, who was earlier arrested in connection with the crime.
The suspect said that he mentioned Idris because he had caused him to be sacked from the garage where they were working together.
Spokesperson of the command, ASP Mahid Muazu Abubakar, paraded the suspect at the police headquarters in Gombe on Thursday, October 26, 2023, alongside other crime suspects.
According to the PPRO, at about 10:00 pm, a formal complaint was received at Pantami Division from one, Muhammad Sani Abdullahi, aged 45, of Jeka da Fari quarters Gombe that his mother, Aishatu Abdullahi, was slaughtered with a knife by an unknown person around 0930hrs.
“Upon receipt of the complaint, Police operatives attached to Pantami Division immediately responded and went to the scene where Aishatu Abdullahi was found in a pool of blood, and was immediately rushed to the hospital but was certified dead by a medical Doctor at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe,” the PPRO stated.
“The suspect was arrested on October 22, 2023, at around 01:30 p.m. in connection to the case following credible intelligence received by the investigative team which was constituted by DC Operations, CP Hayatu Usman on behalf of the Command, headed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, SCID Gombe
During the investigation, the suspect confessed to sneaking into Aishatu Abdullahi’s room in search of his spanner, which she had seized from him.
The suspect also mentioned an accomplice, Idris Abubakar Danjauro, aged 17 years, from the same address, who joined him in the room to carry out the act. Idris was also arrested but denied knowledge of who killed Aishatu during the interrogation.
“The suspect mentioned that Aishatu returned from the neighbors, found him in her room, and questioned him but he refused to leave, resulting in him attacking her, strangling her, and killing her with a knife and escaped through the toilet to an unknown destination, leaving behind his stained shirt and knife but managed to escape with the Spanner which was later recovered from him.
“Further investigation revealed through eyewitnesses that at the time of the incident when the said Aishatu was screaming for help, they were together with the said Idris who assisted in calling the relatives of the deceased on the phone but they were not reachable
“The suspect also confirmed to have committed the act alone without support from Idris stating that he only mentioned Idris because he had caused him to be sacked from the garage where they were working together, leaving him unemployed for a year
