Meanwhile, the Command has also launched an investigation into an alleged suicide involving a 20-year-old labourer, Alfred Habila, from Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Habila was reportedly found hanging in an uncompleted building behind River Park Estate, Lugbe, on Sunday morning.
A resident, Engr. Jatto Abdulkareem, told the police that he received a distress call from another resident, identified as Joshua, who discovered the deceased’s body around 8:00 a.m.
Police operatives who visited the scene took photographs and evacuated the body to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, where he was confirmed dead on arrival.
The corpse has since been deposited at the hospital mortuary for autopsy and preservation, while investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident continue.
