There are several versions of the story

authorities saying he shot himself to

Audu was arrested for allegedly attempting to
steal weapons from the armory on October 20.
There are several versions of the story
surrounding his death with the police authorities
saying he shot himself to death. Some other
sources speculate he must have been gunned
down in his cell.
One of his relatives, who called our New York
office on the development, insisted that he was
killed, pointing out that he could not have shot
himself because he had been handcuffed since
he was arrested.
“I will supply you photographs our family
collected from the media in Kaduna this
afternoon,” he explained. “He has been hand-
cuffed throughout, how can hand-cuffed man
shoot himself to death? Where did he get a gun
in detention to carry out the act by killing
himself?
“It is clear something is wrong and we will want
to know the whole thing that happened and the
truth, it is unfortunate and pathetic.”
All our efforts to reach the Kaduna State police
commissioner by phone from New York failed as
he was said to be busy.
Below is what police authorities said on DSP
Nanbol Audu last week in Nigeria:
On 20th October,2014 at about 2230hours, the
Command's Armament Officer, DSP Nanbol Audu
came to the Armory with two unknown persons
in a private vehicle, parked behind the Armory
and loaded some firearms into the vehicles.
Policemen on guard suspected foul play and
immediately stopped the vehicle from leaving the
premises.

steal
"Upon interrogation, the State Armament Officer
could not give satisfactory account of his action
which led to his arrest and the two other
occupants of the vehicle one Zingkur Joseph of
Trade Centre Jos and Samuel Adamu of Kuru
Jos-South Local Government Area of Plateau
State, respectively. During search at the spot, 11
G3 Rifles already concealed under the vehicle
seat were recovered.
“Further investigation revealed that, one of the
two civilian suspects is a blacksmith who
specialize in manufacturing locally made
firearms. The two suspects came from Jos,
Plateau State on arrangement to purchase the
said firearms from the Armament Officer at the
cost of N400,000."
