Explaining the arrest of the suspect, Garba elaborated: “When the victim’s parents couldn’t meet the ransom demand, the suspect procured drugs and administered them to the victim to induce sleep, resulting in the victim’s demise. Abdullahi subsequently buried the body within their residence while his parents were absent, leading to his subsequent apprehension by the police.”
