The Commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps Gombe State Muhammad Bello, on Sunday said that Yahaya Buba, the uncle that necessitated the cutting of a 21-year-old nephew will be charged for attempted murder.
Bello in an interview with our correspondent decried the tying of the hands of Adamu Mohammed, for allegedly stealing phone.
Our Correspondent had reported that Mohammed’s arms were tied which culminated in the medical advice for amputation of the arms to ensure his survival.
The tying had caused his arms to become numb following lack of blood flow.
The Commandant said, “We are charging him for attempted murder. What he did was an attempt to the boy’s life, for life he has incapacitated him.”
Debunking insinuations that the Corps would release him following the close ties, he shares with the victim, he bemoaned the complicity of the victim’s father for using the money provided to treat his son adding “We are not mad to release him (the perpetrator). Initially, we arrested the biological father for his pure act of cruelty. The Money given to him by the uncle he takes it and flee leaving his son to suffer. He didn’t give the boy the proper treatment early enough even when the culprit Yahaya Buba, provided it.”
Bello lambasted an alleged Non-Governmental Organisation for taking credit for the treatment of the Mohammed, “We will investigate Gongola Charity Foundation claims ofcourse that is not correct. It is dubious for them to take credit for doing nothing. NSCDC has been taking care of the boy, inline with it mandate of defending the defenceless.”
