Nigeria: Nabeeha Trends As Police Unveil 'Murderer's' Identity

28 January 2024

Nabeeha, a 400-level student of Biological Science at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria,who was abducted and killed by her kidnappers, trended on Twitter (X) after police unveiled the identity of her "murderer".

Nabeeha, her father, alongside her sisters were abducted in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on January 5.

She was killed over her family's inability to meet up with the deadline of the N60 million ransom initially demanded.

But the family eventually raised the ransom, which was jerked up to N100 million after Nabeeha's murder.

On Sunday, the Nigerian Police Force said it had arrested a suspect linked to the abduction and murder of Nabeeha.

The force said Bello Mohammed, 28, of Zamfara state was apprehended on January 20, 2024 in Kaduna with N2.25 million cash suspected to be procceed of ransom.

Immediately the police released a statement to the effect, X users took their accounts to express concerns over the issue.

Idris Abdul Ahmed @Nrs_Idreeserh, who commended the force, urged them intensify efforts to catch up with the rest.

He said, "Nice one. That's just 2.2 million out of perhaps 200 million. Can the police intensify more effort to follow these money and get these evil men. Please delete him, don't keep him in prison."

UMAR JABIR MUHAMMAD @umar_bin_jabir said, "Congratulations to the Nigerian police, may the enemies of Nigeria continue to fail."

PIED @obehieguakhide said, "Glad to hear that Bello Mohammed has been arrested for the kidnapping and the gruesome murder of Nabeeha. We would like to hear from him as we did Chinaza a short while ago. He might have a few words of greetings for the president." Queen Bee @RealQueenBee__ commended the police, urging them to not release him.

He said, "Kudos to the Nigerian Police! This is the kind of story that the Nigerian people will be happy to hear, not lies and propaganda. We give kudos when it's due and reprimand when they falter. Hopefully, they'll not release them in a few months' time & tell the people they're REPENTANT KIDNAPPERS?"Summarize @summarizest Summary saisd, "Police arrest and detain Bello Mohammed in Kaduna for his involvement in kídnapping and grúesome múrder, commend DPO for rejecting a 1 million Naira inducement, as the Inspector-General of Police orders further investigations by DFI-IRT in Abuja.Balogun Ridwan @BalogunREADONE said that the development will be greater if his arrest can actually bring down the whole Cartel.

Tonye Barcanista @TonyeBarcanista said, "Well, kudos to the arrest of this kidnapper, and kudos to the Police if indeed he was part of the bast^rds that kidnapped those families. But there is need to go after other members of the gangs, especially their sponsors. The Sponsors, when arrested, will help in solving the puzzle... If left to walk free, they will simply recruit more thugs to their criminal gangAdannia Timothy @AdanniaT said, "LIES LIES LIES PROPAGANDA. Stop telling us. Show us the evidence. Don't you get? We don't trust anything that comes out of the mouth of Nigerian police."sunday chukusa @SChukusa said, "What about the ones that collected 30 million or the caught on the viral video?
