Police arrest suspect over alleged murder in Kebbi.

The Kebbi State Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old suspect in connection with the alleged murder of 35-year-old Auwal Umaru, who was found lying in a pool of blood behind the Central market in Birnin Kebbi on Monday morning.

The Command spokesperson, Nafi’u Abubakar, in a statement issued in Birnin Kebbi on Monday, revealed that the police received the report at 8am. 

The victim was promptly evacuated to Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead, and through a credible lead, Bello Amakwa was arrested, after which he confessed to stabbing Umaru in the neck with a knife after a minor argument around 2:30am.

The State Commissioner of Police, Bello Sani, has appealed to youths to seek redress through appropriate channels when aggrieved rather than resorting to self-help, adding that the case has been directed to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for thorough investigation and prosecution.
