The police command in Kaduna has arrested two suspects over the killing of Abdulkarim Na-Allah, the eldest son of Majority Leader Bala Ibn Na’Allah, in Kaduna.

Mr Na’Allah is the senator representing Kebbi South senatorial district.

The command’s spokesman, Mohammed Jalige, confirmed the development on Wednesday.

“Yes, two suspects were arrested a week ago in Kaduna,” said Mr Jalige.

He added that the investigation was ongoing to ascertain the motive behind the killing.

“The car the suspects took from the deceased had been recovered but is in the Niger Republic,” Mr Jalige explained. “We are liaising with Interpol to bring back the car to Nigeria.”

The police had confirmed the killing of Mr Na’Allah on August 29, when he was found dead in his room at Malali GRA, Kaduna.
