The Police in Kaduna State have arrested an Inspector for attempting to kill his colleague in Kafanchan, Jemaa Local Government Area.
Spokesman for the Police Command, DSP Muhammed Jalige, said the incident occurred on June 16, 2023 at the Police Mobile Force Base of Squadron 62 Kafanchan, when Inspector Moses Paul attempted to kill his duty partner – Inspector Simnawa Paul- by tying a rope around his neck in an attempt to strangle him.
The victim, according to the police spokesman, was rescued by two other officers who responded to his distress alarm.
Jalige disclosed that preliminary inquiries revealed the primary motive was an attempt to cart away Inspector Simnawa Paul’s rifle while the remote cause of action would be established after a full scale investigation.
He said if found culpable, Inspector Paul will face both disciplinary and legal proceedings.
