Glamtush reports that the Abuja Police Command has arrested a Nigerian Navy officer, Abdul Rasheed Muhammad, for the murder of Aminu, the son of former Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral I. I. Ibrahim (retd).
This online news platform gathered that speaking while parading the suspect on Wednesday in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, said Muhammad killed Aminu and stole his Prado Jeep two weeks ago.
Igwe, however, confirmed that the jeep had been recovered.
He said, “About two weeks ago, Aminu Ibrahim, the son of Vice Admiral I. I. Ibrahim (retd), a former Chief of Naval Staff, was robbed and killed in the Maitama area of Abuja, and his Prado SUV was taken. I want to inform you that Abdul Rasheed Muhammad, a serving Nigerian Navy personnel, committed the murder. He has confessed to the crime, and we have recovered the Prado Jeep.”
Speaking with journalists, Muhammad said he is a seaman in the Navy deployed to the former Chief of Naval Staff’s residence.
He said, “I work at the house. He wanted to go out at night, around 11:30. He said he needed security.
“So, I followed him with my gun. Along the way, he stopped to check his ATM, as if he was going to buy something.
“I thought maybe I was going to escort him to a market or somewhere. Then, when I came out through the other door, I shot him, took the car, and left. I’m a guard and a seaman in the Navy. He did not do anything to me; I killed him to steal his car.”
A total of 94 members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria arrested following the death of two police officers on Sunday, were also paraded.
