Story from Ahmad SAKA, Bauchi
The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested three suspects over the forceful removal of the eyes of a 16-year-old boy.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mohammed Ahmed Wakil, stated this Monday in Bauchi while fielding questions from journalists in Bauchi.
He said, “Police have arrested three suspects, the prime suspect that lured the boy to that rock and committed the act, the person that asked them to bring the two human being eyes, and the person that led the suspect to the person who asked them to bring two human eyes.
“We are still expanding our investigations until we have arrested all the people that have a hand in this dastardly act.”
DSP Wakil said that the Commissioner of Police, Umar Mamman Sanda, has vowed to get to the root of the matter, and assured that the police will ensure that the culprits behind the dastardly act are brought to book to serve as deterrence for future occurrences.

Wakil said that the suspect may be charged with culpable homicide because their intention was to kill the boy as he tied his neck with a wire until he became unconscious before he brought out a knife and removed his two eyes, but please allow us to complete our investigations, in order to charge them appropriately.
It could be recalled that last week Friday, the 16-year-old boy named Uzairu Salisu of Kwanan Gulmanmu Jahun in Bauchi Metropolis was found with his two eyes forcefully removed by an unknown suspect at Jira Rock called Dutsen Jira in the Bauchi Metropolis.
