The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a suspect over the abduction and murder of 12-year-old Christopher Bala in Magama town, Gumau Local Government Area of the State.

DAILY POST reports that the victim, who was reportedly abducted on March 21, 2024, while on an errand, is the son of a Police officer, ASP Bala Yarima of Gumau Division.

A statement issued on Thursday by the spokesman of the Command, SP Ahmed Wakil, revealed that the Police received a distress call about Christopher’s abduction and immediately swung into action in a bid to arrest the perpetrators.

The suspect, Rabi’u Ibrahim, who was identified during preliminary investigation, was said to have confessed to the crime.

He also confessed to collecting N200,000 ransom from ASP Yarima.

Ibrahim reportedly admitted to strangling Christopher out of fear of being recognised, and burying the body in a shallow grave at Bazale village hill.

“He admitted that, fearing that Christopher recognised him, he went ahead to strangle the 12-year-old victim and buried the body in a shallow grave at Bazale village hill.

“Following established procedures, the Bauchi State Police Command exhumed the victim’s remains. A postmortem examination conducted at the General Hospital Toro confirmed the cause of death as strangulation.

“Subsequently, the case has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department for a comprehensive investigation, following a directive by the state commissioner of police,” the statement said.

What Is Really Happening Inside This Bauchi

When will Nigeria change?

Just imagine.

20yrs old can now kidnap, collect ransom and murder his victim without blinking.

Humanity is long gone.

Suffer the wicked not to live, this pure wickedness you will not live, you will also die.

Meanwhile check my signature for your building materials supplies for your construction

bury him alive.... wicked soul.

When children are taught to be heartless from childhood, what do you expect? At 20 they become monsters, and killing is not a big deal for them.

Train your kids with maternal and paternal love and affection, and also teach them to love.

Hmmm

Have sense in voting, they will say no.

Mock igbos as politically not savvy, youll see them on twitter, they will say yes.

Kidnap and kill, for sure yes. The mumu neva even fit reach 20. Fatalist and terrorist.

Dregs of nigeria.

Why is he still alive? Feed him to alligators.

He is guilty.

His photo alone is enough to convict him.

Why hide his face, is it because he is a Northerner

I've often wondered the meaning or use of the 9ja expressions 'the guy don cast' or "him cup don full".
Now I need no further explanation. As a matter of fact, his cup don overful sef!

Police man dey pay ransom too even him no trust the police to do their job.

You are one of the problems with Bauchi state.

This one na animal in human skin.

Too bad. Rip to the dead

Send him to a Russian prison for serious interrogation.

Northerners have to rise up in unison against the bloodthirsty criminals - kidnappers and Bandits- in their midst. They must begin to fish out those criminals in their midst without any religious or tribal sentiments. This is the only way to destroy the monsters which they raised by themselves! Failure to do this,the monsters will be killing them one after the other!

The idiot here should be rotting in hell already!
