 According to Vanguard, when approached, the suspect could only mention his name, but could not express himself in English Language.

‘He had an accident as a child’ His relative, Akilu Isa, who was also arrested, claimed that he (Mohammed) was insane. 

According to Isa,

 “he (Mohammed) is my brother. He is not mentally stable. He had a shock while he was a child, which affected his brain. At times, he would behave normal and at other times he would behave abnormally. “We all sell roasted meat (Suya) at the market. On that fateful day, the mental disorder gripped him. He immediately picked up the girl and at the same time, lifted a knife which he uses for Suya. “At that point I beckoned on my other relative, Salisu, to come to the girl’s aid. We immediately gripped him and succeeded in retrieving the knife from him. Thereafter, we tied him with a rope. “I was even the person that told a crowd, who attempted to beat him, to call the Police to arrest him. “When the Police came, they took him away. But to my surprise, when I went to the station with the chairman of our section, I was arrested with another relative of ours. As I speak, I don’t know the reason why I am arrested.”
