GIREI, ADAMAWA STATE – The Adamawa State Police Command has launched an investigation following the discovery of a lifeless body on the outskirts of Girei. The incident, which has shocked the Anguwan Hona community, is currently being treated as a case of "sudden and unnatural death."


The Discovery at Bagale Mountain


​On Monday, March 23, 2026, the body of 46-year-old Ahmed Mohammed was found hanging from a tree. The location, described as the foothills of the Bagale Mountain, is a prominent landmark in the Girei Local Government Area.

​Upon receiving the report, police officers moved to the scene and evacuated the deceased to the Cottage Hospital in Girei. A medical doctor on duty officially confirmed Mohammed dead shortly after arrival.


Ongoing Investigation


​Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, stated that the command is working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the tragedy. While the initial appearance suggests a possible suicide, the police are not ruling out foul play until a full forensic examination or further intelligence is gathered.

​"Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident," SP Nguroje confirmed in his official statement.


Call for Public Assistance


​The Command has urged members of the public—particularly residents of Anguwan Hona—who may have seen the deceased recently or have relevant information to come forward. Public cooperation is often the key to resolving cases of "unnatural death" in rural and peri-urban areas.
