Bauchi Police Capture Murder Suspect After Three-Month Hunt

The Bauchi State Police Command successfully arrested Abdulrazak Sale Kundang, 24, known as “Abba Sale Police,” on October 5, 2026, after a three-month manhunt for his involvement in a murder case in Karofin Madaki, Bauchi metropolis. The arrest was made by operatives from the ‘A’ Division, Township, following credible intelligence from a Good Samaritan.

The incident occurred on July 5, 2026, when Rilwanu Dauda, 46, was allegedly attacked and fatally stabbed by Kundang and his gang. Dauda was taken to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The police had previously linked Kundang and his accomplices to a politically motivated murder in the same area. Following the arrest, efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects.

Commissioner of Police Sani-Omolori Aliyu commended the operatives for their professionalism and emphasized that no criminal would find refuge in Bauchi State.
