Abuja – A Nigerian police inspector, identified as Hussaini Umar, has been reportedly killed by some suspected members of a ‘one chance’ syndicate in Abuja, the country’s capital.

The deceased, said to be attached to the Force Intelligence Bureau had reportedly boarded the gang’s vehicle from Maitama Junction in the city centre to his home in Dei-Dei community, FCT, on Friday night.

Daily Trust news agency reported that a police convoy came into the Kubwa General Hospital to convey the victim’s remains, and headed for Zaria, his home town, for burial.

A police official in the convoy, who refused to mention his name, said Umar was stabbed by the robbers before they dumped him around a bridge, near the NNPC Junction in Kubwa.

He said another vehicle ran over him, before the police patrol team, stationed around the junction, were alerted about the incident by some motorists, who took him to the hospital.

A police source in Dei-Dei equally confirmed the incident, adding that the victim had been living in the area for a while, and recently relocated his family to join him.

The FCT Police Command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, promised to make an inquiry concerning the incident and revert, but she was yet to do so during the time this report was filed.
