The Kaduna Chief Magistrate Court, Kabala Doki, postponed the case of murder of Ahmed Musa, a SS2 student of the Technical University of the Government, Malali, after six suspects appeared before the court on Thursday.
Ahmed Musa was found dead in suspicious circumstances on February 16, 2025, within the school facilities. His body was discovered with his hands and legs, and a rope tied around his neck. The blood was visible in his mouth and nose. He was urgently taken to Barau Dikko's teaching hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
Judge Naheed Ibrahim Abdulhamid ordered that the two main suspects, the 18 -year -old Markus Kefas wisdom, and innocent Yakubu, 17, both SS2 students of the same school, be arrested in custody. While Kefas was sent to a correctional center, Yakubu was arrested in police custody. His case was postponed until April 8, 2025.
In addition to the students, four personnel of the Kaduna State Surveillance Service (Kadvis), assigned to provide school security, were accused of criminal conspiracy and negligence for not preventing or informing the incident. The accused Kadvis staff is Timothy Abba, 56, Joseph Ogoni, 41, Bulus Adamu, 42, and Francis Adamu, 48.
The Court granted them bail and scheduled their case for March 17, 2025.
Ahmed Muse's father, Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight), accused the Government of Negligence of the State of Kaduna, arguing that his son's security was the responsibility of the government while he was in school. He demanded that the state government pay ₦ 560,300,000 as compensation for their inability to protect the student.
The brutal nature of the murder of Ahmed Musa has caused serious concerns about the security of students and the role of government in the protection of children within the school facilities. The case is still ongoing as the authorities continue their investigation.
