Six nabbed in connection with policeman’s death in Sokoto

Six persons, who are in the employ of a four-star hotel in Sokoto, have been arrested in connection with the death of a police Inspector, Nura Hasimu on Saturday

This was disclosed by the Sokoto State Police Command’s spokesperson, Mr. El-Mustapha Sani on Monday, who revealed that Hashimu died after he was beaten to a state of coma by security guards of the hotel.

Sani averred, “The deceased had reportedly lodged in the hotel for about five days preceding the incident.

“The late officer was asked to leave the hotel after repeated complaints by some of his neighbours in the hotel that his room was always rowdy.

“He had earlier parked his belongings and put them in a commercial tricycle and left the hotel, but he later returned angrily.”

The state command’s mouthpiece further stated that the deceased on his return to the hotel had a misunderstanding with the Managing Director. This prompted the intervention of the security guards, who pounced on him.

He added that following the attack, the deceased was rushed to the State Specialist Hospital, where Hashimu was pronounced dead.

Sani noted that the corpse of the deceased has been deposited at the Usmanu Dan fodiyo University Teaching Hospital for autopsy, adding that six suspects are currently in custody of the Command and they are helping the police in its investigation.
