FCT police arrests 4 over alleged conspiracy, culpable homicide
The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has arrested four persons in Giri village, Gwagwalada area of the territory over alleged conspiracy and culpable homicide.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the FCT, DSP Josephine Adeh, said this in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday.
Adeh said that the suspects were arrested following a report at the Gwagwalada Divisional Police Headquarters by a resident of Giri village for allegedly attacking one Sani Abdullahi in his farm on Sunday.
She said that the victim was attacked alongside five others, who sustained varying degrees of injuries.
“Upon receiving the report, the command dispatched the intelligence and investigative units attached to the division for action which led to the arrest of the four suspects,” she said.
The police spokesperson said that Abdullahi was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead, while three of the other five injured victims were currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

Adeh said that efforts to conduct an autopsy on the deceased proved abortive, as the relatives insisted on retrieving and burying him according to Islamic rites.
The family’s insistence, she said, degenerated into a tensed situation in the area, thus leading to more personnel being deployed to the village to maintain law and order.
Adeh, however, said that normalcy had returned to the area through the efforts of the police, sister agencies and other stakeholders in the community.
She said that the Commissioner of Police (CP) in charge of FCT, Mr Babaji Sunday, had extended his condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
Adeh also quoted the police commissioner as appealing to residents to maintain calm, with a promise that anyone found to have been involved in the matter would be made to face the wrath of the law.

Another group of repentant bandits has released three women in Katsina State as part of the ongoing peace process in the state.
The women, whose names were not immediately disclosed, were said to have been held by a notorious bandit leader, Kacalla Zailani, who controls the Maigora axis.
Community sources told Zagazola on Wednesday that Zailani freed the captives voluntarily without collecting ransom.
“He handed over the women to the mediators as a gesture of goodwill to consolidate the peace deal,” one of the sources said.

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with Police and local Joint Task Force operatives, have foiled an attempt by suspected Boko Haram terrorists to kidnap villagers in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Zagazola learnt that the incident occurred at about 12:45 a.m. on Sunday when about 15 terrorists stormed Kombla in Krichinga District of Madagali.
The terrorists were said to have attempted to abduct some villagers, but were swiftly repelled after troops engaged them in a fierce gun duel.
“The swift response of the troops and supporting security elements forced the terrorists to retreat into surrounding bush paths,” the source said.
The sources added that pursuit operations were ongoing to apprehend the fleeing terrorists.
Normalcy has since returned to the area, while security presence has been strengthened to forestall further attacks.
