Ahead of October 6 bypoll, West Bengal Police searches house of TMC leader in decades-old cases

The FCT Police Command has connected a woman and two workers at a guest house in Gwarimpa, Abuja, to the disposal of a man's body found near Katampe Bridge. Commissioner of Police Ahmed Sanusi revealed this during a press briefing on Saturday. The deceased was discovered along the Kubwa Expressway, close to Katampe, on August 26, days after his family reported him missing.

Initially, speculation arose that the man might have been a victim of kidnapping or a "one-chance" robbery. However, detectives traced the circumstances of his disappearance after confirming the body matched the missing person report. The investigation was assisted by the deceased's mobile phone, which was not found with the body.

Police investigators traced the phone's last activity to Mrs. Rukayat Muhammed, living in Garki Area 2. Sanusi said the two were romantically involved, with Muhammed having saved his contact as "Safiyat." The pair had stayed at the Good Samaritan Guest House on Second Avenue, Gwarimpa, where Muhammed allegedly discovered the man unresponsive.

Instead of notifying the police, she reportedly took the deceased's phone and left the guest house. The situation came to light when guest house management was unable to reach the occupants of the room, leading to its opening and the discovery of the body. Two employees of the guest house, Ibrahim Omeiza and Kefat Bitrus, allegedly moved the body from the room and transported it to the Katampe area of the Kubwa Expressway, where it was abandoned beneath the bridge.

The Commissioner stated that the cause of death remains unknown, as investigations continue to determine the circumstances surrounding the man's death.
