A resident of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is now telling the Police Command all he knows about a man he allegedly killed after suspecting him of attempted car theft.
The suspect has been charged to court for the death of the man, identified as Benjamin, who mistook his car for his boss’ car and attempted to open it.
Haruna Garba, the FCT Commissioner of Police, disclosed that the suspect and the complainant, who had sent the deceased to pick up his charger from his car, actually had the same type of car, Toyota Camry, the same colour and were packed side by side.
