Confessing to the crime, Ibrahim said he and two others who are still at large had killed the victim and made away with his motorcycle.
Ibrahim told our Correspondent that he never knew that police will get at him, “I thought that the case is over. Frankly speaking, I thought that this matter has died down since 2018; I do not even know that Police is still dragging the matter. I never knew that police was trailing me until I was arrested.
“Myself and my gang members actually killed the victim and dispossessed him of his motorcycle; we thought it was all over not knowing that the long arm of law will one day catch up with us one by one.”
The Niger state Police Command Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar said the Police are still on the trail of others adding that they are not resting until they are all brought to book.
He said that the matter has been charged to court.
