15-year-old girl killed in Gombe

The Gombe State Police Command has confirmed the death of a 15-year-old girl, identified as Aisha, in the Kwami community after she went missing while on an errand.

The confirmation followed a viral video showing the girl’s body, which was discovered in a hole near Wakili and Tuguji villages in the Kwami Local Government Area.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Buhari Abdullahi, said Aisha had been sent to buy soybeans on Monday evening but failed to return home.

“The report was made by her father, Malam Abubakar, around 12:00 noon on Tuesday. According to the report, she was sent to buy soybeans at about 5:40 pm on Monday and did not return. Unfortunately, her lifeless body was discovered in a bush on the outskirts of the village,” Abdullahi told journalists in Gombe.

He noted that detectives have visited and photographed the scene, observing visible signs of violence and mutilation on the body.

The command’s spokesman said the corpse had since been evacuated to a hospital for a forensic medical examination.

The spokesperson added that investigations are ongoing to identify and arrest those responsible for the crime. (NAN)
