The Nigeria Police said Tuesday that the operatives of the Force Intelligence Bureau Intelligence Response Team (FIB-IRT) arrested suspected killers of a lawmaker and a police officer.

It said the operatives successfully brought to a close a case of murder which seemed unresolved with the arrest of some notorious suspects involved in criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, and kidnapping in June 2022.

The arrest followed a charge on the tactical and operational squads by the Inspector-General of Police, (IGP) Usman Alkali Baba, on the need to ensure cases are investigated to a justifiable and reasonable conclusion.

The suspects, Hashimu Galadima (aka Kan-Wuka) 48, Abdulwahab Alhassan (aka Emeka) 31; Abdulwahab Ahmed (aka Dan-Mama), 35 and Alh. Modu Saleh, all of Dass Local Government Area of Bauchi State, were arrested following credible intelligence.

Parading the suspects in Abuja, Force Public Relations Officer and Deputy Supretendent of Police (CSP), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the suspects were members of a syndicate actively involved in kidnapping and robbery operations within Bauchi state and its environs.

They confessed to the murder of one Hon. Musa Mante, a then serving member of the Bauchi State House of Assembly from Dass LGA in August 2020, and the kidnap of his two wives and one-year old daughter.

They similarly confessed to the murder of one Mallam Dahiru Suleiman and a retired Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Garkuwa, who they claimed was a bane to their free operation in the area.

Similarly, 11 suspects who confessed to being members of an unlawful society, specifically the Confraternity (aka Aiye) were arrested in Ekpoma, Edo State, following reports on their nefarious activities within the area.

The suspects, 22, Okosun Pascal, 24; Michael Ehineboh, 22;



The FIB-IRT recovered a total of 27 firearms including 10 AK rifles, one G3 rifle, eight pump action guns, three locally made pistols, three English double-barrelled guns, 633 rounds of live ammunition of different calibres, 8 expended cartridges, and one cutlass from the suspects in the course of investigations.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, assured well-meaning members of the society who are stakeholders in security, of the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to ensuring that all criminal suspects are dealt the full blow of the law upon arrest.
