Two suspects arrested for killing 14-year-old student in Niger state
Two suspects identified as 26-year-old Nuhu Mohammed and 22-year-old Sani Usman have been arrested by the police over alleged criminal conspiracy and killing of a 14-year-old secondary school student identified as Ubaida Surajo.
Wasiu Abiodun, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer in a statement on Friday, June 16, said the young girl was killed at her parents’ residence in Izom, Gurara LGA on June 5, 2023 while her mother was away to Izom Market.
Nuhu, who was a tenant in the same house confessed during the police interrogation that in the early hours of the same day, the mother of the deceased accused him of stealing her N90,000. He said the accusation got him angry, and he decided to kill the girl.
He invited his friend, Sani, to the house to assist him and they both attacked the girl when she returned from school by strangling her to death.
They left the scene and locked the house gate from outside only for the mother to come back from the market and find the victim lifeless.
Six knives, two cutlasses, a digger and a suspected blood-stained shirt belonging to Nuhu were discovered when police searched his room.
