No fewer than five suspects have been arrested by the Gombe State Police Command on Sunday, for allegedly assaulting an Upper Area Court Judge and five others.
Our correspondent had reported how the Judge Ayuba Buba-Dalas, Barrister Usman Yahaya, Buba-Dalas’ staff were attacked and injured barely a week ago.
Court usually conducts a physical assessment of issues relating to land disputes to ascertain the cause of conflict, however, it was in this process at Putuk Degri District Area Balanga Local Government Area that they were attacked.
The Nigerian Bar Association Gombe State had also condemned the attack, while urging the command to prosecute the perpetrators of the act.
Disclosing the arrest of the five suspects, Public Relations Officer ASP Mahid Abubakar, in a short text which was obtained by our correspondent wrote, “Gombe police command arrested five suspects for allegedly assaulting a Judge and five of his entourage on November 4, 2023.
“CP Hayatu Usman, Psc directs for discreet investigation.”
Good luck
