The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a notorious member of a one-chance syndicate linked to the kidnapping and murder of 23-year-old fuel attendant, Miss Grace Godwin, in Abuja.
Zagazola Makama reports that operatives of the Scorpion Squad, led by ACP Victor O. Godfrey, apprehended the suspect, Kabiru Abdullahi, 25, from Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, following credible digital and reconstructive intelligence.
Investigations revealed that on July 11, 2025, the victim boarded a commercial taxi that turned out to be operated by a one-chance gang. After demanding ransom from her family, the suspects allegedly murdered her and dumped her body along Alex Ekwueme Street, Jabi, where it was discovered the next day.
During interrogation, Abdullahi reportedly confessed to strangling the victim with a nylon bag after she bit his finger, explaining that the gang feared she might recognize them since they all lived in Dape village.
He also implicated Solomon Tanko, 35, who had earlier been arrested on October 8, 2025, at Life Camp for a related one-chance robbery and murder case.
Both suspects have confessed to the crime, and police have recovered a golden-coloured Toyota Camry (pencil light) used in the operation.
The FCT Commissioner of Police has directed that investigations be expanded to track down all remaining members of the syndicate.
