The Yobe State Police Command has charged four suspects to court in connection with death of Balkisu Ali a teenager who died at Yobe Govt Lodge two weeks ago.
The arraignment followed an autopsy conducted on the corpse at the University Teaching Hospital, Damaturu, to unravel the actual cause of death.
In a statement signed by the command’s Public Relations, ASP Dungus Abdulkarim, the police said “the post-mortem examination has revealed that the deceased died as a result of cardio-respiratory failure resulting from excessive use of Drugs (or Drug overdose)”.
“With the conclusion of the investigation, suspects will soon be arraigned in court for charges, other than homicide, including criminal conspiracy, procurement and adultery”
The command further urged all and sundry to desist from peddling rumours that could be detrimental to the interest of the deceased family and the general security in the state.
