According to online reports, the deceased was arrested on Monday, August 31,2020, alongside her friend, Rukayya Muhammed at Calvary Road by Bola Police Outpost in Maraba area of the state.

The ladies were arrested after Bilikisu’s Ex-boyfriend, Abdul ran away after he stole N1.4 million in the Car Dealership Center where he was working for a Lebanese Man, Jafar in Maitama, Abuja. Bilikisu’s name was mentioned by Abdul when he was being tortured for stealing.

Bilikisu’s brother, Zakariya Isa disclosed that the police arrested, tortured his sister for a whole day and later called her parent to take her when it was realised that she was fainting. Meanwhile the deceased’s friend, Rukayya Muhammed, said Bilkisu was forced to remove her hijab (head covering) and repeatedly beaten with wire.

”The inspector slapped, flogged and hid Bilikisu, but he gave me his number that he likes me and spared me from torture. She fainted in the station. He poured water on her,” She said.

Rukayya added that the deceased was no longer in any relationship with the suspect since last year, still the police picked her up and harassed her publicly by calling her a prostitute. According to relatives, Bilikisu arrived home and began to bleed and vomit and later died.
