The Kaduna State Police Command has said that its operatives have arrested two suspects in connection with the horrifying case of a man who was buried alive in the Zaria area of the state.

The Public Relations Officer of the Command, ASP Mansir Hassan, who made this known in a statement issued on Thursday said that the arrest followed the circulation of a disturbing video that showed the victim buried with only his head exposed.

The police spokesperson said that the victim, a 20-year-old from Gauraki village, had previously worked with the suspects at a construction site in Abuja; however, they had an altercation over a stolen cell phone valued at N35,000.

The victim was accused of the theft, and as a consequence, the suspects decided that the victim's daily wages would be used to replace the phone.

The situation escalated when the victim, frustrated by this decision, left Abuja and traveled to Zaria but the suspects, who are siblings, followed him there.

On August 10, they found the victim, abducted him, and buried him alive in an uncompleted building.

The victim was restrained and left partially buried until a passerby heard his cries and alerted the authorities.

Hassan said that the suspects had admitted to the crime during interrogation.

He said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Audu Ali, cautioned the public against taking the law into their own hands, emphasising that the case would be thoroughly and professionally investigated.
