The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested four suspects for allegedly assaulting a minor in Magama Gumau community, Toro Local Government Area.

The Command’s spokesperson, CSP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil, confirmed the arrests in a statement on Sunday. He named the suspects as Zuwaira Ibrahim, her two sons — Umar and Abubakar Ibrahim — and a traditional herbalist, Fatima Abdullahi.

According to the statement, the case was reported on September 11, 2025, by one Yahuza Usman of Magama Gumau. The victim was promptly taken to General Hospital, Toro, for medical treatment.

Wakil said the principal suspect confessed to consulting a herbalist, who allegedly provided her with concoctions linked to accusations of witchcraft against the victim. She then involved her children in the assault. The herbalist initially charged ₦150,000 for the concoctions but later accepted ₦40,000.

Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, has ordered the transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for a detailed probe. He assured that justice would be served.
