The State Commissioner of Police, CP A T Abdullahi during a press briefing on Thursday, confirmed the capture of the suspect, along with two accomplices, following the reported incident.
The arrested suspects, identified as Abubakar Isah, Umar Ibrahim, and Umar Nasara, allegedly armed with cutlasses, unlawfully invaded the residence of Mudan Ibrahim in Chori Village, Ringim LGA.

The suspects, all residents of Chori village, were apprehended in connection with the crime.
Upon interrogation, the suspects confessed to their involvement in the robbery and rape case.
