Adamawa State Police Command has arrested some suspects in connection with the beheading of a young lady in a hotel in Yola, the state capital.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Police also arrested three employees of the hotel who were on duty at the time of the incident (Jacob, and Yifarta – receptionists; and Isah – a security guard).
The police explained that the handset which belonged to the deceased and the drug used to sedate the lady were recovered from the crime scene.
The main suspect had on January 18, 2024, at around 9:30 pm, taken his victim to a hotel where he was lodged as a guest, beheaded her, and went away with her decapitated head.
The Spokesman of the command, Suleiman Nguroje, while confirming the arrest to journalists on Friday, said, “The command has so far apprehended three staff (members) of the hotel and recovered drug and handset of the lady. The drug and handset were recovered at the scene of the crime.”
Nguroje further assured the public of the determination of the Commissioner of Police, Afolabi Babatola, to arrest the perpetrator of the heinous crime.
However, ThePUNCH gathered that two persons, believed to be behind the gruesome murder, whose identity had yet to be made known by the police, had been nabbed.
