The FCT Police Command has apprehended a married woman, Mrs Rukayat Muhammed, and two hotel workers over the death of a man whose body was found under the Katampe Bridge along the Kubwa Expressway in Abuja. The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Sanusi, announced this during a press conference. The deceased had been missing before his body was discovered along the Kubwa Expressway on August 26, 2026.
The investigation was prompted by the discovery that the deceased's mobile phone was missing and its last known activity. It led investigators to Mrs Muhammed, who was allegedly in a relationship with the deceased. Police found her at the Good Samaritan Guest House in Gwarimpa, where they spent time together. Muhammed allegedly took the deceased's phone and left the hotel.
After the hotel could not contact the occupants, police accessed the room and discovered the deceased's body. Two hotel staff, Ibrahim Omeiza and Kefat Bitrus, are also under arrest for allegedly removing the body from the hotel and dumping it under the bridge. The investigation is ongoing, and the exact cause and circumstances of the man's death are yet to be established.
Anyone involved in the man's death or the concealment and abandonment of his body would face the law.
