A statement signed by the spokesman of the command Mohid Abubakar hinted that the suspects are alleged to have stormed Aishatu Abdullahi’s residence at Jeka da Fari Quarters in Gombe at approximately 21:45hrs, before fleeing with her handset.
On receipt of the information, Police operatives moved to the scene where Aishatu was found in a pool of blood and was immediately rushed to the Specialist Hospital, where she was sadly pronounced dead on arrival.
The Gombe Command has expressed shock and dismay at the heinous crime and has pledged to do everything in its power to bring the perpetrators to justice.
” The Command has launched a full-scale investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify those responsible for the brutal murder.
” The Command extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of Aishatu Abdullahi and we want to assure the public that we are doing everything possible to apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous crime and bring them to justice.
” We urge anyone with information that could lead us in our investigation to come forward and give us the information.” said ASP Abubakar.
Meanwhile, the Command is urging residents to remain calm and vigilant and to report any suspicious activities of individuals to the Police.
” The Command is also encouraging members of the public to cooperate fully with the police as they carry out their investigation, without the support we may not get to the roots of these problems because some of these criminals are from within the community being terrorized.
“We are committed to maintaining law and order in the State and will not rest until those responsible for this senseless act of violence are brought to justice.
” Finally, the Command wishes
the general public to know that the movement restriction earlier imposed is still in place and also the Okada and Keke Napep riders are encouraged to help the Police with information. Anybody who violates this order will face the full wrath of the law.
“For any useful information, in anonymity, we can be reached via our Complaint number 09165472923.” said Asp Mahid Abubakar, Anipr.
