A 100-level course 9 Police Cadet, identified as Sulaiman Jika, has died.
Although the Punch reported that Jika died after he was allegedly starved and malnourished for over two weeks, the Nigeria Police Academy (POLAC) maintained that Jika died due to a brief and unexpected illness.
According to the school authorities, Jika complained of restlessness on Saturday and was admitted for further medical examination before he later gave up the ghost.
A statement issued on Sunday by POLAC Spokesperson, ASP Hussain Suleman, read, “Jika, a dedicated cadet from the Department of Computer Science, was a proud native of Adamawa state.
“On 29th August, 2023, he sought medical attention at the Academy Clinic due to an ailment. Following a diligent course of treatment and his gradual recovery, he was certified fit and discharged by the Medical Doctor on call the next day, and tasked to return at regular intervals for checks which he adhered to.
“However, fate took an unforeseen turn. On 2nd September 2023, he was once again admitted to the clinic for further examination and care following a complaint of restlessness. Though his vitals were normal upon examination and all necessary medical steps were taken, we regrettably report his untimely passing.
“The Commandant of the Nigeria Police Academy, AIG Sadiq Idris Abubakar, extends his deepest condolences to the grieving family, friends, and loved ones of Cadet Sulaiman Jika. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this period of profound sorrow. May God Almighty grant them the strength and resilience to bear this heavy loss.“
