According to witnesses, Idris was arrested on September 6, 2025, on allegations of shopbreaking and theft.<\/p>\n

While in JTF custody, he was reportedly beaten severely, leaving him with head and body injuries.<\/p>\n

He was later rushed to Mazadu Nursing and Maternity Home in Rahama, where doctors confirmed him dead.<\/p>\n
