The first incident occured at London Ciki Area in Metropolis, where a shop owner was killed and his corpse dumbed inside a refrigerator, while all the goods in the store were carted away by unknown persons.

Another incident occured around Bulumkutu Abuja, where when one Babagana Ahmed Gaidam was stabbed to death by yet to be identified persons, at his residents at about 10pm on the same day.

The victim was the Head Teacher at Kanuri Mega School Bulumkuttu.

Many other incidents related to robbery and snatching of handsets by hoodlums had occured around Ajilari, Baga Road and Modugamari within the past few weeks.

A Senior Police Officer, said against that erroneous believe, most of the people committing these types of crimes are hoodlums that have been attacking unsuspected residents in the metropolis for sometimes.

“Some of them disguise as perssengers in tricycles to rob their victims of their valuables. Some will monitor customers who went to withdraw money from the bank or ATM and go after them.

“We have arrested some of the robbery gang who robbed ATMs within the metropolis. Luck ran out with them when they abandoned the vehicle use for the crime,” he said.

He said: “Be rest assured that the police will leave no stone unturned to get the culprits and prosecute them. So people should be calm and go about their normal activities.”

The Senior Officer also urged residents in the state to be wary of allowing criminals and strange faces who look suspicious to dwell in their midst by reporting to the police, in order not to cause havoc to peaceful citizens.

In his response, Mr Jubril Muhammed, Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), who confirmed the incident, said Mr Babagana was one of its member, noting that the Union recieved the news about his death with deep shock.

Muhammed said the police were informed about and were already investigating and working toward unravelling those behind the senseless killing.
