 17-year-old senior secondary school student Abdulahi Tokuraba has been tortured to death by a group of security operatives kutnamed Operation Farauta in Adabawa state. Operation Farauta, which combines personnel of the armed forces, the police and Niger security and civil defense corps NSCDC, was created to tackle security challenges arising from the Boko Haram invasion of the parts of the state. The outfit is said to have tortured the young lad to death following an allegation that he had received a stolen iPhone 7 belonging to the wife of the executive director of Adabawa state's scholarship board, Shuaibu Wambai Zumo. Commenting on the incident via a phone, spokesperson for the police in Adabawa state, SP Suleman Nguroje said an investigation into the cause of the death of the minor is ongoing and those found culpable no matter their status would be prosecuted. What is that face is fish out those that did that act. They should fish out and deal with according to the law. No body is according to law because you are wearing uniform doesn't mean that you can go and do what you're not supposed to do. And it has been known that what they used to do there is that it did with civilian matters. Somebody quarreling with someone because of a girlfriend reported that they called the other and didn't change. If somebody says the issue of this phone of a teen then what you take someone in the report and then beat somebody there. In the command upon receiving the reports the CEP have directed GPT commissioner of police investigation who happened to be the one in charge of the highest investigative body to commence investigations. The command equally reached out to the Nigerian army per se to see how we can at least harmonize and come together to fish out those that were fingered. At the wake of yesterday the report equally came up that the victim was hospitalized and was receiving treatment died in the course of receiving treatment. Nound investigation has now extended to many experts to equally give us the result of the autopsy that must have been conducted upon the body. Secondly, the person who was said to have accused the victim wrongly was equally invited by the police and the command equally wrote to the Nigerian army obviously the head of the operations to provide those guys fingered into this so that together our investigation will be conducted. So I would like to assure members of the public that the command that is settled with the responsibility of protecting life will not promote or allow somebody to take life.
