The Adamawa State Police Command, is intensifying search for the boyfriend of Bilikisu Idi, who was beheaded a few weeks ago in Adamawa State.
The police said the owner of Happy Day Guest Inn and two others, where Idi was beheaded, have a case to answer and have been charged to court.
Recall THE WHISTLER reported that Idi had gone to Happy Day, with her boyfriend who gave a fake name to the receptionist as Mose Adamu.
Not long after checking in, a hotel staff discovered her lifeless body without a head while the boyfriend had left.
The police arrested the hotelier, the receptionist and the security guard after the case was reported.
The Command’s spokesman, SP Suleiman Nguroje told THE WHISTLER on Sunday, that the hotel’s receptionist, Orpha Jacob, a 28-year-old female from Yalde Pate, and one Habibu Isa, a 55-years-old security man residing at Zango, all have a case to answer.
According to him the three persons have been charged to court.
He said: “I’m aware that the three suspects, the hotelier and the security guard of the hotel, who were apprehended in connection to that after they were brought into custody, investigation reveals that they have a case to answer.
“The case there is: One, negligence conduct. Because you give out accommodation to somebody whom you cannot even give him form to fill, you don’t have his identity card, you’re as good as giving him the chance to facilitate what he wants to facilitate.
“So we’ve now charged them to court for criminal conspiracy and negligence conduct leading to causing danger to life and property.”
Nguroje noted that the identity of the “so-called Mose Adamu” who is believed to be the perpetrator, is being hunted by the Command.
He said the police are doing everything legally possible to detect, trace and apprehend him.
He also explained that the command is equally working very closely with medical experts who are already assisting with the investigation, adding that the corpse of Idi has already been released to the relatives for burial.
The police officer also said: “I’m aware that the state government had issued a directive, that the hotel should be closed down so that nobody would tamper with the scene of that crime, to enable the team of crime experts to gather the material evidence that is needed to aid the investigation.
“To further boost that, the state government equally had meetings with security agents and hoteliers, a directive was given that each and every hotel, motel, whatsoever you can call it, must fix a CCTV camera in the reception so that that will keep the identity of whosoever that’s coming in and out.”
He explained that this is with the purpose of preventing the breakdown of law and order.
“This will aid the identity of perpetrators of crime to bring them to justice,” Nguroje said.
