One of the prime suspects seen in the viral video boasting about being the leader of the mob who murdered Deborah Samuel at the Shehu Shagari College of Education is yet to be arrested inspite of the outrage.
According to Sokoto State Police Command,they strongly suspects him to be a foreigner from the neighbouring Niger Republic as he could not be found in the Sokoto metropolis the state reads.
A top police source told Peoples Gazette that;
“We started looking for him immediately we saw his video on social media because he is fundamental to our investigation,”.
“We are now learning that he is not even a Nigerian but only came in illegally from Niger Republic to cause chaos in our country.”
Though,some official said Interpol might be enlisted to help arrest the suspect.
“Some officers are saying he is a Nigerian and we need additional time to find him. We have no facial recognition database, but we are following all available intelligence on the matter.”
A spokesman for the police said he could not immediately provide additional updates about their handling of the crisis.
Meanwhile, the police commissioner, Kamaldeen Okunola, said he would not comment on the investigations.
So far, the police have already arrested two suspects in connection to Deborah's murder, which sparked outrage leading to a large number of Muslim youths storming the palace of the Sultan demanding the release of suspects from custody.
