The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested two notorious suspects of a “one-chance” robbery syndicate linked to the death of a 23-year-old woman, Miss Grace Godwin.
On 12th July 2025, the Command received a distress report about the unconscious body of a young woman discovered along Iya Abubakar Street, Life Camp. Police operatives promptly responded to the scene, where the victim—later identified as Miss Grace Godwin—was rushed to the hospital but was sadly confirmed dead by a medical doctor on duty.
According to the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, said preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased, who worked as a fuel pump attendant, had closed from work on 11th July 2025 and unknowingly boarded a vehicle operated by a “one-chance” robbery gang.
Acting on the directive of the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Miller G. Dantawaye, psc, operatives of the Command’s Scorpion Squad launched an intensive investigation into the case. Through the deployment of digital reconstructive intelligence, the team successfully traced and arrested two suspects identified as Kabiru Abdullahi, male, 25 years old, and Solomon Tanko, male, 35 years old.
Further investigation revealed that during the robbery, the victim recognized some of the assailants who were residents of the same Dape community where she lived. In a bid to silence her, the suspect, Kabiru Abdullahi, strangled her with a plastic nylon bag after she bit his finger in self-defense.
Exhibits recovered from the suspects include one golden-colored Toyota Camry (“Pencil Light”) used for the operation, and a plastic nylon bags used in committing the crime.
Efforts are ongoing to apprehend other fleeing members of the gang.
The Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Miller G. Dantawaye, psc, commended the Scorpion Squad for their swift and professional efforts in uncovering the case. He also extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Miss Grace Godwin and reaffirmed the Command’s unwavering commitment to protecting the lives and property of all residents of the Federal Capital Territory.
