The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has arrested a 500-level veterinary medical student of Ahmed Bello University Zaria, Kaduna State for killing a 17-year-old boy.

The suspect, Abdullahi Ibrahim, reportedly lured the teenage secondary student with his naked picture and enticed him to meet for a homosexual activity.

The NSCDC Commandant, Bauchi State, Ilelaboye Oyejide, disclosed this to journalists on Sunday while parading the suspect.

NSCDC boss 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 was stabbed in the stomach, wrapped in white cloth, and dumped where he was found.”

The Commander added that the suspect confessed to the crime during the investigation. He said the suspect would be charged to court.

“The suspect said that the deceased approached him with a knife and, in self-defence, there was a struggle that resulted in him stabbing the deceased to death.

“He also said that he was really afraid because it was something he had never encountered in his life,” the NSCDC boss said.
