Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a suspect who allegedly killed his friend with animal horn because he refused to buy beer for him. 

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Mohammed Ahmed stated this in a statement distributed to reporters in Bauchi Monday. 

He said “the command arrested one Monday Ajasco, male aged 29yrs of Kafin Tafawa Bauchi on the 17th of November, 2022, following information available at the Command’s disposal about his active involvement in a homicide case.” 

Wakil said “A discreet investigation conducted by the detectives attached to the command revealed that on the 16th November 2022 at about 2300hrs, the suspect (Monday) went to a beer parlor at Bagel village of Dass LGA where he met Abdulrazak Ibrahim, male aged 30yrs who is now deceased, and others drinking beer at a beer parlor in Bagel village. He (the suspect) asked the said Abdulrazak (deceased) to buy him a beer to drink. In response, the deceased refused to do so”. 

He said that development sparked a little altercation between them which displeased the suspect. After a while, they decided to leave the beer parlor and go to their homes while the victim left before them.

He said the deceased’s friend heard screaming from his friend from afar. On reaching the scene, he met his friend lying in a pool of his blood while the suspect was standing near the victim holding a sharp animal horn in his hand. “He also threatened to stab the victim’s friend when he asked the suspect why he did so”, the police said. 

Police Spokesman said “investigation into the incident also revealed that the suspect trailed and attacked the victim on his neck with a sharp object suspected to be an animal horn. As a result, he sustained a serious injury and was swiftly rushed to the General Hospital Dass but was certified dead by the medical doctor”. 

He said the case will be charged to court for prosecution on completion of the investigation.
