The Katsina State Police Public Relations Officer, a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Gambo Isah, who confirmed the incident and the arrest of the suspect, further explained that Ibrahim was arrested on 21st of April, 2023.
He described the suspect as a “notorious armed robber and phone snatcher.”
Isah added: “Nemesis caught up with the suspect when he lured a phone dealer to an uncompleted building in the Modoji area of the state, attacked and stabbed the victim on his neck with a knife which resulted to the death of the victim.”
Isah, while appreciating members of the public for their unflinching support to the Police in Katsina, mentioned other crimes busted by the command.
He explained that on the 23rd of April at about 1:30 PM, the command succeeded in arresting 23 years old Abdullahi Bala, who sometime in the month of February, 2023, had a marital misunderstanding with a complainant’s daughter as a result of which she returned to her father’s house.

During the investigation, the suspect was arrested and has confessed to the commission of the offence.”
