Police to prosecute 11 over alleged murder of 29-year-old man in Bauchi
The police in Bauchi State have detained 11 suspects over alleged murder of a 29-year-old man in Bauchi metropolis.
The spokesman for the command, Ahmad Wakil, confirmed the incident on Monday in Bauchi.
He said operatives of the command apprehended the suspects on October 25, after two of the assailants attacked the victim at his home in Sabuwan Kasuwa area of the metropolis.
Mr Wakil said operatives of the command who were responding to a distress call evacuated the victim to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, where a medical personnel certified him dead.
He said the remains of the deceased had been handed over to his family for burial.
The spokesman said the murder triggered a reprisal by irate youths who set fire to one of the suspect’s family home before the security operatives restored order.
Mr Wakil said the command intensified efforts to apprehend the fleeing suspects, while those in detention would be charged to court.
