 Mohbad's DNA case adjourned to November 16 as family raises concerns over testing process The court hearing on the DNA case involving late singer Mohbad has been adjourned to November 16, 2026, as a family seeking to join the suit raises concerns about the testing process. In an update on the case, a representative of the party seeking to join the proceedings said a new court-appointed officer had been assigned to address their concerns about the proposed DNA test. The representative expressed reservations about the centre expected to handle the process, particularly the role of its director, who he said had also been involved in an earlier DNA-related request. He questioned whether the centre would conduct the test or merely collect samples before sending them to another laboratory.

SUSPECT APPREHENDED FOR ALLEGED SPREAD OF FALSE RUMOURS AND OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENSE IN LANZAI


In a bid to stop the spread of false information,  misinformation and disinformation  across the State, Bauchi State Police Command has arrested one Umar Abubakar, an 18-years-old male, resident of Lanzai Town, Darazo LGA, for allegedly spreading false rumours of an impending attack and obtaining money under false pretenses.


According to a report received at Darazo Division on 28/06/2026 at about 1510hrs from a traditional ruler in Lanzai, the suspect was alleged to have gone around Lanzai Town spreading rumours that herders would attack the town within three days.


Furthermore, the suspect was also alleged to have collected the sum of N4,000 from two households for prayers and sacrifices to allegedly avert the said attack.


During interrogation, the suspect admitted that the information was false. He further disclosed that one Hannatu (surname withheld), a 32-years-old female of the same address had told him about a dream she had that the community might be attacked. He stated that the claim was informed by trauma following the killing of three of her neighbours during an incident on 04/06/2026.


Subsequently, the suspect is currently in the custody of Darazo Division for preliminary investigation. The case will soon be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Bauchi, for discreet investigation and prosecution.


Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, mni, psc (+), has warned against the spread of false information capable of causing panic and breach of public peace. He urged residents to always verify information and report any suspicious activity to security agencies rather than taking laws into their own hands.


The CP further assured that the Area of Responsibility remains relatively calm and that security monitoring is ongoing to sustain peace in the area.
