In Adamawa State, Solomon Ijarafu, a 21-year-old resident of Sangere Futy in Girei Local Government Area, has been apprehended for allegedly faking his own death to evade prosecution. Ijarafu had allegedly stolen a motorcycle from his employer and subsequently sold it. He took the stolen motorcycle to Uba in Hong Local Government Area, where he collaborated with Mathew Joseph and Peter Mustapha to sell it.
Ijarafu then hatched a plan with Sadiq Auwal to assist in his deception. Auwal informed the motorcycle owner that Ijarafu had been discovered dead with his body in Uba. However, the owner remained skeptical and reported his doubts to the Girei Divisional Police Headquarters. Police officers subsequently apprehended Ijarafu and his accomplices, who later appeared before the Chief Magistrate Court in Girei.
All five individuals pleaded guilty to their charges, and the court, led by Chief Magistrate Asta Michael, decided to remand them in custody. The Adamawa Jail Delivery Committee subsequently took over the case and granted Ijarafu conditional bail after he admitted guilt once more.
