“We got to know about it when we were called to come and identify one of us in the mortuary and when we came, what we saw was a pitiable site.

“We are here because our hope lies on the law enforcement agencies more especially the police to unravel those behind the incident and let us know what his offence is that led to such gruesome killing.”

“We want to make a request that the police should help us because this young man has a family, wife and four children including a little one that was born few weeks ago who will never see their father again”.

Responding, the state commissioner of police, CP Garba Aliyu reassured the protesters of police readiness to ensure that all those behind the evil act are brought to book.
