Police arrest two suspects over killing of Na’Allah’s son

The Kaduna police command says it has arrested two suspects linked to the killing of Abdulkarim, son of Bala Na’Allah, senator representing Kebbi south.

Abdulkarim was found dead at his residence in Malali GRA in Kaduna metropolis, in August.

A vehicle and some personal possessions of the deceased, who was a pilot, were said to have been carted away by the attackers.

Mohammed Jalige, the command’s public relations officer, confirmed the development on Wednesday.

“Yes, two suspects were arrested a week ago in Kaduna,” Jalige said.

“The car the suspects took from the deceased has been recovered, but is in Niger Republic. We are liaising with Interpol to bring back the car to Nigeria.”

He said investigation is ongoing to ascertain the motive behind the killing.

While reacting to the death of his son, Na’Allah had said the life of the deceased was not better than that of other Nigerians.

The senator said he hoped the death of his son will play a major role in “finding solutions to the problems” of the country.

“His life is not better than any other Nigerian. As a family, we leave everything in the hands of Almighty Allah to whom we have since surrendered in pursuit of the strength to bear the loss of Abdulkareem in our family and by the numerous calls, messages and visits we have received so far, we have every course to thank Almighty Allah for his love and mercy to the family,” he had said.
