The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested three suspects over the killing of a young woman in Toro Local Government Area of the state.
In a Monday statement signed by its Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Nafiu Habib, the command said the suspects were arrested over alleged criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide.
The suspects were identified as Aliyu Musa ‘M’ 25 years old of Babale via Jos North LGA, Plateau State; Samsu Musa ‘M’ 25 years old of Dawa Village, Zalau Ward, Toro LGA; and Auwalu Kabiru ‘M’ 22 years old of Tilden Fulani, Toro LGA, Bauchi State.
The statement reads, “On 31st October, 2026 at about 1800hrs, information was received from the Officer-in-Charge, Zalau Police Out-Station under Toro Division, that on the same date at about 1930hrs, the suspects criminally conspired and attacked one Khadija alias Nana of Unguwan Gangare, Jos North LGA, Plateau State, with a cutlass on her head, resulting in serious injuries.”
Operatives from the out-station mobilised and rushed the victim to General Hospital, Toro for medical attention, where she was later confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.
Habib said her body has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
The police said efforts were ongoing to trace and contact the family of the deceased, while the case would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Bauchi, for discreet investigation and prosecution.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, condemned the act and assured that justice would be served, urging residents to provide timely information to security agencies.
