The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested one Ibrahim Isiaka for allegedly slitting the throat of a commercial motorcyclist and snatching his motorcycle in the Karu Local Government Area of the state.
According
to a statement signed and made available in Lafia on Friday, April 19, by the
command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, the suspect was arrested
following efforts by policemen attached to the Masaka division in the area.
Nansel
said the suspect asked a commercial motorcyclist to take him to Bigmali along
Jankanwa Road in Masaka. However, unknown to the motorcyclist, the suspect had
conspired with an accomplice to steal his motorcycle.
“While
in transit, the suspect used a knife and slit the throat of the commercial
motorcyclist and snatched the motorcycle with the help of the other suspect
still at large,” he said.
The
police spokesperson said that as soon as the command received information of
the act, its officers immediately swung into action, and rushed the victim to
the hospital to save his life.
“The
victim is still in an undisclosed medical facility and is responding to
treatment. A thorough manhunt led to the arrest of the suspect and recovery of
the stolen motorcycle.
“The
suspect is currently helping us in the investigation and efforts are ongoing to
arrest the other suspect still at large. The suspect will be charged to court
upon the conclusion of the investigation,” the PPRO added.
