The Yobe State Police Command has swiftly moved to investigate Inspector Mohammed Bulama, a 38-year-old officer with the Police Mobile Force, after he allegedly stabbed a man to death in Damaturu. The incident occurred following a heated altercation over an unresolved transaction in the Zango Area on September 29, 2024.
The victim, Abdulmalik Dauda, 39, succumbed to his injuries after being stabbed in the chest during the confrontation. Inspector Bulama, who also sustained head injuries, was arrested after seeking refuge at the ‘C’ Divisional Police Headquarters.
Yobe Police Commissioner, CP Garba Ahmed, has condemned the actions of Bulama and ordered a full investigation. “We will ensure justice is served. The Nigeria Police Force will not condone any misconduct by its personnel,” Ahmed said.
