The Police Command in Kaduna State on Saturday said it had arrested a suspected murderer of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving in the state.
The command’s Public Relation Officer, ASP Aliyu Usman, said that the kingpin was arrested on November 2.
Usman said the suspect, Adamu Jibrin, 22, had made useful statement to the police on the offence.
“We recovered six loaded cartridges, two knives, two cutlass, a double barrel and one Samsung phone in his room at Unguwar Yero Area in Kaduna,” Usman said.
The late NYSC member, Lawal Kontagora, was killed on October 17. Two suspects were earlier arrested on Oct. 20.
According to him, the kingpin is still under investigation, but the two other suspects have already been charged to court.
The police spokesman said the arrests were carried out by the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB).
He assured the public of their commitment to rid the state of criminals and criminality.
“We need the support of every one to achieve it,” Usman said.
