Autopsy ordered after man dies in Bauchi vigilante custody, \"Bauchi\"<\/p>\n

By Christopher Ameh, Bauchi<\/strong><\/p>\n

BAUCHI: Homicide detectives have launched an investigation into the death of a 39-year-old man, Abdulrazak Ibrahim, while in the custody of a local vigilante group in Bauchi metropolis.<\/p>\n

The Bauchi State Police Command confirmed the incident on Friday, saying three members of the vigilante group had been arrested and detained in connection with the death.<\/p>\n

According to preliminary police findings, Ibrahim was invited to the Bakin Kura Vigilante Office following a theft complaint lodged against him by his mother, Hauwa Ibrahim.<\/p>\n

The community security group was reportedly tasked with investigating the allegation, recovering the stolen items and identifying possible buyers of the property.<\/p>\n

However, Ibrahim died under unclear circumstances while being held at the facility.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Bakin Kura Vigilante Group reported the incident to the police on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at about 6:39pm.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Nafiu Habib, said the command subsequently deployed homicide detectives from the \u2018A\u2019 Division Township to the scene.<\/p>\n

He said three vigilante members were arrested for questioning, while Ibrahim\u2019s body was deposited at the mortuary of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Teaching Hospital, Bauchi.<\/p>\n

According to him, preliminary examination of the body revealed no visible signs of physical violence or trauma.<\/p>\n

He added that an autopsy would be conducted to determine the actual cause of death.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, ordered a thorough investigation into the incident to ensure that justice was served.<\/p>\n

The commissioner condemned extrajudicial actions and warned individuals and community security groups against resorting to jungle justice.<\/p>\n

He urged members of the public to remain calm, assuring them that the outcome of the investigation would be made public.<\/p>\n
