A serving police inspector, identified as Hussaini Umar, has been reportedly murdered by some suspected members of a ‘one chance’syndicate in Abuja.

The deceased, said to be attached to the Force Intelligence Bureau (FID), had reportedly boarded the gang’s vehicle from Maitama Junction in the city centre to his home in Dei-Dei community, FCT, on Friday night.

Our reporter who visited the Kubwa General Hospital on Saturday morning, came across a police convoy, who went into the facility to convey his remains, and headed for Zaria, his home town, for burial.

A police official in the convoy,  who didn’t disclose his name, said Umar was stabbed robbers before they dumped him around a bridge, near the NNPC Junction in Kubwa.

He said another vehicle ran over him, before the police patrol team, stationed around the junction, were alerted about the incident by some motorists, who took him to the hospital.

A police source in Dei-Dei equally confirmed the incident, adding that the victim had been living in the area for a while, and recently relocated his family to join him.

The FCT Police Command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, promised to make an inquiry and get back to our correspondent, but she was yet to do so as at the time of filing this report.
