Parading the suspect, the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mahid Abubakar, said the command received complaint at Pantami Division from Muhammad Abdullahi, aged 45, who reported that his mother, Aishatu Abdullahi, was slaughtered with a knife by an unknown person.
Abubakar noted that upon receipt of the complaint, police operatives attached to Pantami Division went to the scene where Abdullahi was found in a pool of blood.
She was immediately rushed to the hospital but was certified dead by a medical doctor at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe.
He said, “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 Danjauro, male, aged 17 years, 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 home, found him in her room, and questioned him. He refused to leave, resulting in him attacking her, strangling her, and killing her with a knife, and thereafterescaped 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.”
