The Katsina State Police Command have arrested 80-year-old herbalist,
Ussaini Musa, and two others for allegedly plucking out the eyes of a
police sergeant in Jos, Plateau State, as part of items to make an
invincible jacket.
The state Commissioner of Police, Muhammadu Wakili, during a press
conference on Wednesday identified the other suspects as Abubakar Sani,
35 and Abubakar Muhammed, 28.
It was learnt that while Sani resided in Katsina, Muhammed and Musa were based in Jos.
The Police Commissioner said the victim, Sergeant Umana Ishaya, a
mobile policeman on special duty at Operation Safe Haven, Jos, was in
mufti when the incident happened.
Wakili said the suspects plucked out the eyes of the sergeant before killing him.
The suspects allegedly told the herbalist that they wanted the
invincible jacket to enter a house where huge sums of money were kept.
The herbalist reportedly told them to get the eyes of a human being who was alive as part of items to make the jacket.
The CP said, “The suspects have confessed to the crime, each stating
the roles he played. They will be arraigned immediately investigation is
completed.
“The victim’s eyes were among exhibits recovered from the suspects.”
