Bauchi State Police have arrested two individuals in connection with the death of 25-year-old motorcycle rider Dauda Manu. The Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, confirmed the arrests in a statement on Monday.
Wakil explained that on March 5, 2025, the Darazo Divisional Police Headquarters received a report about an unidentified, motionless body found along Dosho Village, near Darazo, with multiple injuries. A team of detectives, led by the Divisional Police Officer, visited the scene and transported the body to General Hospital Darazo, where a medical doctor confirmed the victim’s death.
Prior to his death, Dauda Manu was seen riding his Boxer motorcycle on March 4, 2025, with two unknown men onboard. During the investigation, one Yau Buba, a 25-year-old from Minchika Village, Darazo LGA, was arrested in Gombe State on Thursday while in possession of the victim’s motorcycle.
