Police parade 12 arrested over death of Arise News anchor, security guard

The Nigeria Police Force on Saturday paraded the 12 suspects arrested in connection with the armed robbery and killing of Somtochukwu Maduagwu, a journalist with ARISE News, and Barnabas Danlami, a security guard, during a violent attack at Unique Apartments, Katampe Extension, Abuja, on September 29, 2025.

Speaking at a press briefing on Saturday at the FCT Police Command Headquarters, Garki, Abuja, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the arrests followed a “coordinated, intelligence-driven investigation” launched immediately after the incident.

The suspects arrested are: Shamsudeen Hassan, Hassan Isah (22), Abubakar AlKamu a.k.a. Abba (27), Sani Sirajo a.k.a. Dan Borume (20), Mashkur Jamilu a.k.a. Abba (28), Suleiman Badamasi a.k.a. Dan-Sule (21), Abdulsalam Saleh a.k.a. Na-Durudu, Zaharadeen Muhammad a.k.a. Gwaska (23), Musa Adamu a.k.a. Musa Hassan (30), Sumayya Mohammed a.k.a. Baby (27), Isah Abdulrahman a.k.a. Abbati (25), and Musa Umar a.k.a. Small (31).

Recovered exhibits include one locally fabricated AK-47 rifle, one locally made pistol, one pump-action gun, 36 live rounds of 9 mm ammunition, two live cartridges, four mobile phones, two sharp knives, one cutlass, and two flashlights.

According to police investigations, the fatal shot that killed the security guard, Mr Danlami, was fired by one of the suspects, Shamsudeen Hassan, after the guard reportedly attempted to prevent the gang from gaining access to the apartment complex.

The Force spokesperson further disclosed that the suspects sourced their weapons from a supplier in Niger Republic and had been involved in other armed robbery operations across Katampe I, Apo, Zuba, and other parts of the Federal Capital Territory.

While expressing condolences to the families and colleagues of the deceased victims, the Force PRO reaffirmed the police’s commitment to ensuring justice.

“The Force remains resolute in ensuring that all individuals connected to this grievous crime are prosecuted in accordance with the law,” he said.

The Force headquarters commended the professionalism and diligence of the FCT Command operatives whose painstaking efforts led to the arrests and recoveries.

Members of the public were also urged to remain vigilant and provide timely information to aid the prevention and detection of crimes.

These boys from the north have always been a menace in Abuja.

How many times una go post this news na? Parading them is good, but preventing crime is better. People are killed everyday in some parts of the nation and no one is batting an eyelid over it. Just because of the bad publicity the death of the young woman brought the government, everyone is now forming serious

Good one from the NPF..

So long they're the real idiotsss behind the murder of the beautiful Somto,may they never know peace

Chai. The faces of the riff raffs, you will surely pay for this. Nigeria police can actually be swift if only they are willing.

That is exactly how they should be parading all those thieving politicians....no one should be a sacred cow. But this is Nigeria

COMRADES, why the police is active on this matter, while my case of fraud is still receiving a sluggish response from the police?
It is obvious that we are not in the same world in this world

Tinubu will soon pardon them latest by next year, that's his achievement.

They stab people to death over a small Nokia Torch Light phone, problem of millions of out of school children raised under the wicked Almajiri scheme without a soul.

calaway:

They will not do that unless it's high profile or wealthy elites / polithiefians relations involved.

Why wa she even killed? The zeal to just kill before and after plundering is what I won't understand

UzorIyke:
Tinubu will soon pardon them latest by next year, that's his achievement.

That pardon will still score him political mileage towards 2027. It's funny how politicians shits and wee on our heads.

I am sure these are not the real culprits

Peter Obi the online president and Sympathiser general of Nigeria should with immediate effect congratulate the Nigerian police force for doing a nice job...

Just see the combination of their names.

Riff raffs who have nothing good to offer this nation. The police should have just wasted them instead of explaining to us.

Bladdy shege kawai😎😎😎

Las Las, dem go pardon dem. No be Naija we dey? 😎

"Tinubu will take care of the economy, and Shttima will take care of security" - Ewedu agents

The should reach out to Tinubu, he will give them pardon since we are in a season of pardoning criminals.

They are still deliberately hiding their faces is this how police hide the faces of criminals in civilised countries i don't even know where the nigerian police learnt this behaviour from?

It's good thing that they are arrested

But, the Nigerian police and other security agencies should step up to protect the Live of the citizens. These arrests can not bring back those lost lives

They will never show their faces

And may God help the ugly...

The Nigerian Police usually do the right thing as long as politics isn’t involved.

Poor reportage . Was it not reported that the late news anchor jumped to her death ?

Lawyers will soon prove they didnt kill her now... They will only be charged for armed robbery and the murder of the gate man only.

Nonsense!!!

2moro they will be granted presidential pardon.

More like police had arrested them even before the robbery

Something is not adding up.
If these were actually the killers, why are they protecting them by hiding their faces from the public view?
