The prosecutor, Aliyu Ibrahim Garba, told the court that Salisu allegedly committed the crime in July 2026 around 1pm. Garba said Salisu went to the Barunde Police Outpost, picked up a knife, and threatened to kill two police officers, ASP Sule and Inspector Peter Joel.
He stated, "The defendant went to the Barunde Police Outpost with a knife and threatened to kill two police officers, ASP Sule and Inspector Peter Joel."
The prosecutor explained that the alleged act violated Section 396 of the Penal Code Law. When the charges were read to him, Salisu admitted guilt.
The court then ordered his remand and set the next hearing for November 9, 2026.
