Na’Allah Murder: Full-scale investigation launched, police say
The Commissioner of Police in Kaduna, Mudasiru Abdullahi, says a full-scale investigation into the murder of a Nigerian pilot, Abdulkarim Ibn Na’Allah, has been launched.
Mr Abdullahi gave the order late Sunday in Kaduna in a statement issued by the command’s spokesman Mohammed Jalige.
“I have directed that a full-scale investigation be carried out with a view to unravelling the identities of the culprits and bringing them to book,“ the police commissioner was quoted as saying in the statement.
The 36-years-old son of Bala Ibn Na’Allah was murdered in his Kaduna residence on August 29.
Mr Na’Allah is a senator representing Kebbi South. He was the deputy majority leader in the Eighth Senate.
“The report has it that the assassins forcibly gained access into the residence of the pilot at Umar Gwandu Road, Malali, Kaduna during the night hours, choked him to death in cold blood and made away with his Lexus SUV to an unknown destination,“ the police chief said in the statement.
The police command called on the public to assist with useful information that might assist in its investigation into the murder.
