Three suspects were arrested by troops of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) on the night of 4 November 2026 after the killing of a couple in Tabga/Dogon Ruwa village, Wase Local Government Area, Plateau State. The victims, 58‑year‑old Abdullah Adamu and his 45‑year‑old wife Habiba Ibrahim, were reportedly attacked and killed in their community in Bashar District.
Security sources told journalist Zagazola Makama that Sector 2 troops of OPEP apprehended the suspects at about 11:50 p.m. following reports of the killings. Two of the men were identified as Hussaini Mallam Yusufu, 22, and Ishaku Sule, 24; the identity of a third suspect has not yet been disclosed.
“The suspect claimed during interrogation that he dreamt the woman was a witch and was planning to attack him,” the sources said.
Preliminary investigations revealed that one suspect cited a dream in which the deceased wife was portrayed as a witch as the motive for the attack. The suspects remain in custody and have been profiled for further investigation and necessary action.
Security authorities are working to establish each suspect’s individual role in the killings and to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
