Hussaini Umar, a serving police inspector, has been reportedly murdered in Abuja.

He was killed by some suspected members of a “one chance’ syndicate’.

Hussaini Umar, the deceased, said to be attached to the Force Intelligence Bureau (FID), had boarded the gang’s vehicle from Maitama Junction in the city centre to his home in Dei-Dei community of the FCT, on Friday.

The remains of the deceased were conveyed to Zaria from Kubwa General Hospital for burial.

A police official in the convoy, who sought anonymity, said Umar was stabbed by robbers before they dumped him around a bridge, near the NNPC Junction in Kubwa.

According to him, another vehicle ran over him before the police patrol team, stationed around the junction, were alerted about the incident by some motorists, who took him to the hospital.

The FCT Police Command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, could not confirm the incident but promised to make an inquiry and get back.
