The victim was found dead at a bypass and wrapped in a white cloth.

A 500-level student of the Ahmadu Bello University Zarin, Kaduna State, has been arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corp (NSCDC) for allegedly killing a 17-year-old secondary student.

According to reports, the suspect, identified as Abdullah Ibrahim, was said to have lured the student with his nude pictures, enticing him to meet him for a homosexual activity.

Speaking with journalists, the NSCDC commandant for Bauchi State, Ilelaboye Oyejide, explained that the incident happened in Misau town, Misau Local Government Area of the state.

Oyejide further stated that the command received information about a case of culpable homicide. On getting to the scene, a 17-year-old secondary student, Umar Usman, was found wrapped in a cloth and dumped at Misau bypass.

Investigation to uncover the cause of the death of the young teenager began.

In his words, he said: “On October 20, 2023, a lifeless body of Umar Usman was found wrapped in a white cloth and dumped in Misau bypass.

“He was quickly taken to General Hospital Misau where he was certified dead by a medical doctor. His corpse was handed over to the family for burial.

“After thorough investigations by the operatives, a suspect was arrested with the name Abdullahi Ibrahim, a 500 level student of Veterinary Medicine ABU Zaria.

“We came to realize that there was a chat between the suspect, Ibrahim and the deceased, Usman. In the communication, we saw where the suspect enticed the deceased with homosexual love when he showed him his naked picture.

“When Usman went to meet him somehow, he (deceased) was stabbed in the stomach, wrapped in white cloth, and dumped where he was found.”
