This brazen attack would tragically end the life of a respected military veteran.

During the interrogation, Ibrahim disclosed that the brigadier-general’s stolen gun was in the possession of one Alhaji Ashiru, adding another layer to the investigation.

The violence extended beyond the brigadier-general, with one of the estate’s security guards also falling victim to the attackers.

The guard sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment in an Abuja hospital.

Police Action

The FCT Police’s swift action in apprehending the suspects demonstrates the seriousness with which this high-profile case is being treated.

However, official confirmation of the arrests is still pending, with police spokesperson Josephine Adeh yet to respond to inquiries.
