The source said, “The police came yesterday (Monday) immediately you left the estate. They came to find out what really happened that night. The security guards took them round the estate. They requested to speak with the owner of the plot mentioned by the suspected Yahoo boys. They took her away for further interrogation. As I speak to you, she is still in police custody.”

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, DSP, Josephine Adeh, could not be reached for comments as calls to her line were not answered.

Also, she had yet to respond to a message sent to her line on the matter as of the time of filing this report.
