A 20-year-old resident of Magama-Gumau in Toro local government area of Bauchi State, Rabi‘u Adamu, has allegedly abducted and killed a 12-year-old boy, Christopher Bala.
LEADERSHIP gathered that Christopher was the son of Assistant Superintend of Police (ASP) Bala Yarima serving in Gumau Division, Bauchi State Police Command.
The suspect reportedly collected N200,000 as ransom but later decided to kill and bury his victim in a shallow grave for fear of being identified.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of Bauchi Police Command, Ahmed Muhammed Wakil, said detectives attached to Toro Division tracked and arrested the suspect.
“Further inquiries uncovered disturbing details of extortion and a blood relationship between the suspect, the victim, and the victim‘s family.

Adamu eventually confessed to the kidnapping and the tragic murder of young Christopher.
He admitted to having extorted a two hundred thousand Naira (NGN200,000) ransom from the victim‘s father, ASP Yarima.

He admitted that fearing that the murdered Christopher recognized him, he went ahead to strangle the 12-year-old victim and buried the body in a shallow grave at Bazale village hill,“ Wakil said.
He said having followed established procedures, the Command exhumed the victim‘s remains, adding that a postmortem examination conducted at the General Hospital Toro confirmed the cause of death as strangulation.
Wakil added, Subsequently, the case has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department for a comprehensive investigation, following a directive by the state commissioner of police.“
