The spokesman for the Adamawa State Police Command, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, who confirmed the incident in a statement, said the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Barde, had ordered investigations into it.

He said the CP, while ordering the prosecution of the suspect after discreet investigations, advised members of the public against taking the law into their hands.
