The Abuja Police Command has arrested Nigerian Navy officer Abdul Rasheed Muhammad for the murder of Aminu, the son of former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral I. I. Ibrahim (retired).
The Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, announced the arrest on Wednesday in Abuja, saying that Muhammad killed Aminu and stole his Prado Jeep two weeks ago.
Igweh said the stolen vehicle was recovered during a routine stop and search operation, when police officers accosted the suspect in a black-coloured Prado SUV.
“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,” he said.
Speaking to reporters, Muhammad explained that he was a seaman in the Navy assigned to the former Chief of Naval Staff’s residence.
He recounted the incident, saying: “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.”
KanyiDaily recalls that the FCT Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh recently ordered an investigation into the death of a crossdresser known as ‘Abuja Area Mama.’
