Adamawa State Police Command has reportedly arrested a 30-year-old man identified as Peter Sinamai, for allegedly killing his biological father and dumping his body in a well in Sangere, Gombi LGA of the state.
The suspect was taken into custody after residents notified the police about the incident, prompting officers to launch an investigation.
Preliminary findings by the police revealed that Sinamai allegedly murdered his father before disposing of the body in a well within the community.
According to Police report, the man’s remains have been recovered and deposited in a mortuary, where an autopsy will be conducted as part of ongoing investigations.
Reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police in Adamawa State, Kabiru Hassan, described the alleged killing as deeply disturbing and directed detectives to carry out comprehensive investigation to unravel the circumstances leading the tragedy.
