The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old man, Peter Sinamai, in connection with the alleged murder of his biological father. The incident, which saw the victim's body reportedly dumped in a village well in Sangere, Gombi Local Government Area of the state, prompted immediate action from police operatives following a report received from a community resident.
SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the Command's spokesperson, disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed Sinamai allegedly killed his father before disposing of the corpse in a well within their community, an apparent attempt to conceal the crime. The victim's body has been successfully recovered from the well and subsequently deposited in a mortuary, where it awaits an autopsy to determine the precise cause of death.
