One of the four paraded suspects by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, Aliyu Abdullahi, in connection with the killing of a retired Army General, Uwem Harold Udokwere, in Abuja, has disclosed how they killed the general.
Abdullahi disclosed this during the parade of criminal suspects by the FCT Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, on Monday in Abuja.
He said, “We stabbed the general with a knife. We went to rob him, and we collected laptops and phones from him.
“I was the one who killed him with a knife. I had two knives. I stabbed him in the stomach while another of my friends stabbed him on his shoulder.”
