The Police Command in Niger has arrested a 23-year-old prime suspect in connection with the death of Muhammed Amore.

This was revealed in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Wasiu Abiodun, on Wednesday in Minna.

The incident took place on Sunday around 10:45 p.m. in Angwan-Maiturare, Fadikpe area of Minna.

According to the statement, the deceased, along with members of a vigilance group, attempted to arrest suspected miscreants in the area when one of the suspects fatally stabbed him and fled the scene.

“In the course of the operation, one of the suspects stabbed the victim to death and fled the scene,” Abiodun said.

After conducting a follow-up investigation, police operatives from the GRA Division arrested the prime suspect on Tuesday at around 10:00 p.m.

“He is said to be a chocolate seller at Kure Market, Minna, originally from Fadikpe in Katsina State.”

Abiodun added that another suspect, aged 25, also from Katsina State, who is a shoe vendor using a wheelbarrow at the same market, had also been detained.

The spokesperson further explained that in his confessional statement, the first suspect allegedly named the shoe vendor as an accomplice.

Abiodun noted that the suspects were smoking cannabis by the riverside when the vigilance group members approached to arrest them.

He admitted that the deceased held onto him, and in his attempt to escape, he stabbed Amore in the upper left side of the chest with a shoemaker’s needle.

Preliminary investigations revealed that after the incident, the shoe vendor fled to Abuja.

However, with the help of community members and relatives, he was apprehended.

Both suspects are currently in custody and will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation and prosecution.
