Police Officer Stabs Civilian to Death Over ‘Uncleared Transaction’

 

A Police Inspector, Mohammed Bulama, attached to the Police Mobile Force (PMF) 41 in Yobe State, has been arrested for allegedly killing a 39-year-old civilian, Abdulmalik Dauda, during a confrontation in Damaturu, the state capital.

 

The incident, which occurred on September 29, 2024, was sparked by a heated argument between Bulama and Dauda over “uncleared transactions” in the Zango area of Damaturu. The argument escalated, leading Bulama to fatally stab Dauda in the chest.

 

In a statement, the Yobe State Police spokesperson, Dungus Abdulkarim, confirmed Bulama’s arrest and announced that an investigation into the homicide case had been launched.

 

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Garba Ahmed, has ordered an immediate and thorough investigation into the incident involving Inspector Mohammed Bulama,” Abdulkarim said.

 

He further disclosed that the officer has been placed in custody, pending internal disciplinary action and prosecution.

 

CP Ahmed condemned the actions of the officer, extending his condolences to the family of the victim.

 

He also assured the public that justice would be served swiftly in accordance with the law.
