On Wednesday, the Gombe State Command exhibited 14 individuals who had been apprehended for various criminal activities, encompassing offenses such as rape, robbery, and culpable homicide, among others.
Among those presented was a 25-year-old named Mu’azu Mohammed from Gidim borehole village, who had been taken into custody for the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl on two separate occasions.
Speaking at the headquarters during the parade of the suspects, ASP Mahid Abubakar, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Gombe State Command, explained that Mohammed had exploited his proximity to the minor, as they both resided in the same compound.
“He committed the rape on two occasions. The Police authorities were alerted to the crime and immediately we dispatched officers from Kwadon Divisional Police Headquarters,” Abubakar stated.
“After a thorough investigation, the suspect was arrested. Both the victim and Mu’azu were taken to Cottage Hospital Kwadon for a medical examination, where the doctor confirmed the allegations of penetration.”
The suspect has admitted to the wrongdoing. Legal proceedings are currently underway, and he will soon appear before a judge,” Abubakar added.
Abubakar went on to reveal that the command had also detained three individuals – Isah Adamu, Auwal Mohammed, and Abubakar Nasiru – for charges related to criminal conspiracy, housebreaking, house trespass, and theft within a dwelling.
Furthermore, the Billiri Division Patrol team apprehended three other suspects, identified as Mohammed Ajuji, Usman Saidu, and Amir Mohammed, in connection to the vandalization and theft of a transformer owned by JOS Electricity Distribution Company. The stolen transformer is valued at N2,313,000.
As Abubakar called on citizens to maintain their vigilance, he conveyed the message from the Commissioner of Police, CP Oqua Etim: “Citizens are urged to remain vigilant and report any information that may lead to the arrest of criminal elements.”
