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.

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.
