Monday, September 28, 2026 - The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a married woman, Mrs Rulayat Muhammed over the d3ath of her alleged lover at a guest house in Gwarimpa, Abuja.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, made this known
while parading the suspect alongside other criminals arrested by the command.
According to the CP, the suspect was said to have gone to Good Samaritan
Guest House, 2nd Avenue, Gwarimpa, with her alleged lover to have a good time
when the lover suddenly d!ed during s3x.
He said the suspect, upon discovering that her lover had d!ed, took his
phone and left the hotel without alerting the management.
The hotel management later discovered the body, but rather than report the
matter to the Police, two staff members, identified as Ibrahim Omeiza and Kefat
Bitrus, allegedly moved the body from the hotel and dumped it under the Katampe
bridge in Kubwa.
"Investigation into the lifeless body of a man found under the
Katampe bridge on 26 August 2026 has revealed that the deceased had lodged at a
guest house in Gwarimpa with a married woman identified as Mrs Rukayat Muhammed
of Garki Area 2,” the police boss said.
The commissioner, while noting that the police had attributed the
discovery of the body to kidnapping or “one chance” robbery, said that the
police investigation subsequently established that the deceased was the same
person whose disappearance had earlier been reported by his family, prompting
the police to look more closely into the investigation.
The CP said that during the investigation, the police discovered that the
deceased’s mobile phone was missing, thus prompting investigators to track the
device and establish his last known communication.
Sanusi said that although the phone was later switched off, investigators
were able to identify the last person with whom the deceased had communicated
as Rukayat Muhammed of Garki Area, and arrested her.
According to him, further investigation revealed that the suspect was
allegedly in a romantic relationship with the deceased and had saved his
contact on her phone under the name “Safiyat”.
He disclosed that the investigation further established that Rukayat and the deceased had lodged at Good Samaritan Guest House, 2nd Avenue, Gwarimpa, where they spent some time together.
The police commissioner said the suspect told investigators that she discovered that the deceased was no longer breathing and had d!ed.
"Rather than immediately reporting the incident to the police, the
suspect took the deceased’s mobile phone and left the hotel,” Sanusi stated.
He explained that several hours later, after the hotel management could
not establish contact with the occupants of the room, access was gained to the
room, where the deceased’s lifeless body was discovered.
Rather than reporting their findings to the police, the commissioner said
two members of staff of the hotel management Ibrahim Omeiza and Kefat Bitrus,
removed the body from the room.
He said they subsequently transported the body to the Kubwa Expressway by
Katampe under the bridge and dumped it by the roadside, apparently in an
attempt to distance the hotel and its management from the incident.
He said the police investigation had now unravelled a significant part of
the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body, but stressed that the
investigation was still ongoing.
He said the exact cause and circumstances of the deceased’s d3ath had yet
to be established, adding that further investigative processes were being
undertaken to determine the full facts of the case.
"Anyone found to have played a role in the death or subsequent
concealment and abandonment of the body will be made to face the law,” the
commissioner stated.
He also warned members of the public against concealing information,
obstructing investigations or otherwise undermining law enforcement efforts.
The CP said the case demonstrated the command’s determination to go beyond
the surface of incidents and establish the facts through investigation.
He added that the command would continue to pursue all available leads and
ensure that anyone found culpable was brought to justice.
