Despite Collecting Ransom, 20-yr-old Boy Kills Police Officer’s Son

The Bauchi State Police Command hereby announces the successful arrest of a suspect in the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Christopher Bala in Magama Gumau town. The victim who was abducted while on an errand is the biological son of a Police officer, ASP Bala Yarima of Gumau Division, Bauchi State Police Command.

Swift Action Following Abduction

On March 21st, 2024, at approximately 0800hrs, the Bauchi State Police Command received a distress call regarding the abduction of Christopher Bala, son of ASP Bala Yerima, from Gumau town. Upon receiving the report, detectives from the Toro Division immediately responded to initiate a rescue operation and apprehend the perpetrators of the act.

Investigation Leads to Arrest and Confession

Preliminary investigations which identified 20-year-old Magama Gumau resident Rabi’u Adamu as the prime suspect, revealed alarming details of extortion and blood relation between the suspect, victim and victim’s family.
