“The employer, a suspect (Madam Grace Okosun) from Edo state was a beneficiary of Zubeidat’s mother’s magnanimity, according to narration and alleged confession by the suspect. Zubeidat’s mother had some time in the past to help the woman find a solution to his seven years old child who couldn’t talk ever since he was born. But the payback time was to pay the family with the opposite side of the coin.
“On that fateful day, February 13, 2025,late Zubeidat was observing her
off-day at home with her parents when her employer (Madam Grace’ Okosun) put a call to late Zubeidat telling her to come and help her for some work, being her boss, the mother allowed her to go but never came back till date. When Zubeidat’s non return home became a concern to the family a call was put across to the woman (suspect) but she vehemently denied her until when the pot became very hot that the woman agreed to have called her (Zubeidat) and confessed her involvement in the whereabout of her employee (Zubeidat) till date which according to the suspect, the heinous act was carried out at a hotel in Gwarimpa own by one Evelyn Ozabor.
“Despite her confession, the DPO (Babagana Galadima) of Gwarimpa Police division in charge of the case was making fortune from the suspect while trying to dismiss the family of the victim in favour of the suspect on the strength that nobody to fight for the victim’s parents.
“Paradoxically, the case was moved to the SARS office at abattoir for unbiased and transparent investigation. From here, the suspect and all other accomplices were apprehended and undergoing interrogation.” The group said in the petition,” they said.
