A soldier named Suleiman Sidiq has been apprehended in Kwara State after allegedly stabbing a policeman. This revelation came from the spokesperson for the Kwara State Police Command, Ejire-Adeyemi Toun, in a statement released on Thursday.

According to Ejire-Adeyemi, Sidiq was brought to the police station on Thursday to address a complaint but ended up stabbing Divisional Police Officer Marufu Keji while reportedly under the influence of a suspected intoxicating substance.

“On March 20, 2024, at about 1720 hours, a report was received from one PTE, Suleiman Sidiq, a soldier serving at Sector 3 Garrison, Mongunu, Maiduguri, regarding a case of mischief in the Sinawu Town area of Ilesha-Baruba Kwara State.

“During the investigation, it was discovered that the case stemmed from a land dispute. The parties involved were warned to maintain peace and return the following day, March 21, 2024, for further resolution.

“However, the situation took a violent turn when the complainant, Suleiman Sidiq, who was under the influence of intoxicating substances, became so unruly. All efforts and persuasion to calm him down proved abortive; he attacked the Divisional Crime Officer, ASP Okeowo Joel, in the course of intervention by the Divisional Police Officer, DSP Marufu Keji; Suleiman Sidiq brought out a jack knife and inflicted severe injury on the head and stabbed the left hand of the DPO,” she said.

She explained that Sidiq managed to flee from the station by scaling the fence. However, law enforcement officers subsequently tracked him down, and he was taken into custody. Ejire-Adeyemi also mentioned that the injured police officer is currently receiving medical attention.
