Police Chief Armourer In Kaduna Kills Self

A Chief Armourer with the Kaduna State Police Command, Nambol Audu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, committed suicide in the early hours of Yesterday, the police authorities said.

Audu was arrested on Monday for allegedly stealing firearms and attempted selling them to criminals.

He was reported to have shot himself on the chest while in detention at about 5.am Yesterday.

Confirming the incident, the state Commissioner of Police, Umar Shehu, said preliminary investigation revealed that Audu killed himself.

But it was not clear how the chief armourer got the gun with which he shot himself since he was in the police custody as of the time the incident occurred.

The late Audu and two others were on Monday arrested as they allegedly drove into the police armoury at night where they loaded firearms into a private vehicle.

Parading the suspects before journalists during the week in Kaduna, the commissioner said the security men on guard suspected foul play and stopped the vehicle from leaving the premises.

The commissioner said upon interrogation, Audu could not give satisfactory account of his action.

Police Armament Officer Accused Of Attempting to Steal Firearms ‘Commits Suicide’

A police armament officer in Kaduna State, arrested while allegedly attempting to steal firearms from the command’s armoury, has committed suicide, police authorities said Friday.
Nanbol Audu, a deputy superintendent of police, “killed himself” early Friday, the State Commissioner of Police, Umar Ambursa, told Our Reporter.

He denied that the police officer may have been murdered while in detention.

“Yes, but he was not killed, he killed himself early this morning around 5a.m. in detention. We will let you know the details later,” he said.

Police officials said Mr. Audu “shot” himself while in police custody in Kaduna.

But the force did not explain how and where the accused officer obtained firearms while still in detention.

The police commissioner had said Mr. Audu and two others on Monday drove to the police armoury at night where they loaded firearms into a private vehicle.

He said police officers on guard suspected foul play and stopped the vehicle from leaving the premises.

“Upon interrogation, the State Armament Officer could not give satisfactory account of his action which led to his arrest and the two other occupants of the vehicle — one Zingkur Joseph of Trade Centre Jos and Samuel Adamu of Kuru Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, respectively,” Mr. Ambursa said.

“During search at the spot, 11 G3 Rifles already concealed under the vehicle seat were recovered,” the commissioners of police said.”
Mr. Ambursa added that investigations revealed that one of the two civilian suspects was a blacksmith who specializes in manufacturing locally-made firearms.

“The two suspects came from Jos, Plateau State on arrangement to purchase the said firearms from the Armament Officer at the cost of N400, 000,” Mr. Ambursa said.

He listed other recovered items as: N400, 000 cash, yellow Mercedes Benz 230-E with Registration number LGT 588 RJ used in concealing the arms.

Tell me something.

Tell me something.

I wonder where he got the gun from..

Either guilt/shame got the better of him and he took his life,



Or



Mafioso things!
Some people don't want him to talk.


I'm trying to believe the latter, because I need better convincing on how he got the gun while in detention.

Its an obvious cover up, he was simply killed to silence him from exposing the bigger fishes involved.
Yet another evidence of Plateau Christians acquiring weapons to kill Muslims.
Its also obvious that these two rifles would most likely serve as samples to be copied to reproduce several more by the captured blacksmith.

They are poor yet the little they have is wasted in buying arms and planning how to kill muslims.. To what end?
