Garba Talawai, divisional police
officer of Mashi in Katsina state, has been arrested over the death of Rabi

Gambo Isah, police public
relations officer in the state, confirmed his arrest in a statement.
Isah said the corpse of the
deceased was found along a bush path in the state.
“Yesterday at about 12.00hrs, one
Abubakar Haruna, a councillor in Mashi LGA, reported to the DPO of Mashi, SP
Garba Talawai, that a corpse was seen at a bush path in Mashi,” the statement
read.
“The DPO and his team went and
removed the corpse to Primary Health Centre, Mashi. The corpse was later
identified as that of one Rabi Abdullahi,16, of the same address, but only for
some health workers on duty to identify the corpse as having been brought the
previous day by the same DPO, along with one other policeman yet to be
identified, inside a Toyota Carina II identified as the DPO’s.
“The corpse was later identified
as a housemaid to one Sadiya Danyaya, a girlfriend of the DPO.
“However, the said Sadiya
confirmed that she reported to the DPO that the girl had been missing since
Wednesday after she rebuked her for carrying an unwanted pregnancy and for
sleeping outside the house.

indicted the DPO for being complicit in the concealment of facts with respect
to the cause of death of the housemaid.
“The state Commissioner of
Police, Sanusi Buba, has already directed a thorough, meticulous and
comprehensive investigation into the matter.”
