It was gathered that the arrested officer had wanted to murder his colleague and cart away his rifle before other personnel at the location took note and rescued the victim.

In a statement made available to journalists, the spokesman of the Police Command, DSP Muhammad Jalige, explained that the command’s attention was drawn to a viral video on the social media space where the erring officer was accused of being a serial police killer.

“A distress situation on June 16, 2023, at about 1930 hours occurred at the Police Mobile Force base of 62 Squadron Kafanchan, Kaduna, where a certain Inspector Moses Paul attempted to kill his duty partner, Inspector Simnawa Paul,” Jalige noted in the statement.

According to Jalige, the victim was rescued by two other police officers, whose attention was drawn by the cries of their colleague.
