The Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi said explained that his officer who was shot on the right arm of his chest during an ambushed is recovering.
He said the officer was shot by gang members on August 16, 2026 in an attempt to rescue their members, particularly one Mushahu Ishak who was arrested during a raid of Kagarko forest, reports Saturday Guardian.

Sanusi said: ”Investigations also revealed that the suspect and the deceased had lodged at Good Samaritan guest house, 2nd Avenue, Gwarimpa area, where they spent some time together.
“The suspect informed us that she discovered the deceased was no longer breathing and had died. Rather than immediately reporting the incident to the police, the suspect took the deceased’s mobile phone and left the hotel.
“Several hours later, after attempts by the hotel management to establish contact with the occupants of the room proved unsuccessful, access was gained into the room, where the lifeless body of the deceased was discovered.
“Our investigation revealed that, instead of reporting the discovery to the Police, two members of the hotel management identified as Ibrahim Omeiza and Kefas Bitrus, subsequently removed the body from the room and transported it to Kubwa Expressway by Katampe under the bridge, where they dumped it by the roadside, apparently in an attempt to distance the hotel and its management from the incident”.
