“On Nov. 14, one Mr Abdullahi Umar of Dauda Area, Nasarawa Gwong, reported at the Nasarawa Gwong Police Station that his daughter was missing” he said. “The next day the corpse of late Ummi Abdullahi was found at the back of an uncompleted building in Fillin Sukuwa area, Jos, with her mouth, tongue and private part removed.’’
The commissioner said that when the woman selling the food was invited by the police, she fingered one Auwalu Sani. “The police later arrested Sani and during interrogation, he confessed to have conspired with one Nafiu Usman to sell the girl to one Alhaji Aminu Sale at N400, 000” Olakpe said.
The commissioner said the suspects confessed that they had earlier sold one Hajara Abubakar, 12, to the same person, who paid them N300, 000. “The evidence of the suspects against Aminu Sale is overwhelming and he is also in our net,’’ he said. Olakpe further revealed that the command also arrested two women, Chundun Jugu and Elizabeth Zakari, both of Angwan Takai in the Bokkos Local Government Area, for conspiring to steal a one-week-old child.
He said the suspects deceived the mother of the boy, Zainab Zakari, while on admission at Godiya Clinic, Bokkos, after she delivered her child through caesarian. “The women deceived the mother that the wife of the Plateau Governor was visiting Bokkos to provide assistance to women that delivered babies through caesarian. They took away the baby to an unknown destination but were later arrested in Bukuru, Jos South Local Government,’’ he said.
Olakpe said that Chindun had earlier deceived her husband that she was seven months pregnant, adding that she stole the child to show her husband that she had delivered. He said the police had also arrested other suspects, whom he described as “harbingers of sectarian attacks”.
The commissioner said the suspects, who were caught with some weapons, specialise in attacking and killing people in some communities at nights.
