The Niger State Police Command has arrested three vigilante members accused of murdering a traveler, Muhammadu Bello, in an incident that has sparked outrage. The suspects, Habibu Usman (35), Tanko Abara (25), and Maigero Abdullahi (26), were apprehended by officers of the Kontagora Area Command following the tragic incident.
