“But in the cause of the investigation, we realised that the man in question is the Chief Imam of the Uso community, and through our intelligence team, we were able to arrest the suspects, and at the end of the investigations, the suspects will be charged to court.” This story is published in partnership with Report for the World, a global service program that supports local public interest journalism.
