A 35-year-old man Sadiq Jibrin has killed his friend, Bello Adam over his failure to help the victim secure a job after receiving the sum of N3 million.
According to a family member,
the deceased, Bello Bukar Adamu, had given money to Sadiq to help him secure
employment with FIRS.
However, after weeks passed
with no job offer and no money returned, Bello pressured Sadiq.
This pressure allegedly led
Sadiq to invite Bello to his house, where he carried out the heinous act.
Unable to refund the payment on
time, Sadiq allegedly hired two assassins to help kill his friend. He invited
his friend to his house, deceiving him into visiting.
Upon arrival, the friend was
attacked with a pestle, resulting in his skull being smashed, and his life
being ended.
The car beside him belonged to
his late friend, which the suspect also used to dump his corpse along the
Kano-Zaria road.
The Kano State Police Command
has arrested confirmed the arrested of the suspect in a statement issued on
Thursday, May 9, 2024.
The statement released by the
State Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Abdullahi, noted that on May 5,
2024, at exactly 10 a.m., the command received a report from the deceased’s
brother who said Adam left home with his car while his whereabouts is unknown.

Kumbotso Local Government Area of the state. Upon investigations, the police

The statement read, “On
05/05/2024 at about 10:00 am, report was received from a resident of Zawaciki
Quarters in Kumbotso LGA, Kano State that his elder brother, Bello Bukar Adam,
a KEDCO staff, aged 45 years old of Zawaciki Housing Estate, Kano had left his
home with his Toyota Corolla motor vehicle, ash in colour since on 04/05/2024 and
his whereabouts is unknown.
‘’On the evening of the same
date, there was a report that the deceased body of a male adult had been
discovered abandoned at the outskirts of Eastern Bypass, around Bechi Village
in Kumbotso LGA, Kano State. The body was removed from the scene by a team of
crime-scene policemen led by Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Kumbotso
Division, SP Mustafa Abubakar, who brought the corpse to Aminu Kano Teaching
Hospital, where a medical doctor certified the body dead.

The state PPRO added that
“during preliminary investigations, the suspect confessed that he conspired
with two others and jointly lured the victim to his house who until his death
were intimate friends. He narrated that he tied him up, and hit him with sticks
and sharp iron on his head and other parts of his body until he became
motionless.
“Thereafter, he loaded the
motionless body inside the boot of the deceased’s vehicle, threw him off by the
roadside along Eastern Bypass, around Bichi Village and left away with the
motor vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, 2015 model including his mobile phone.

the sum of three million naira (N3,000,000:00) from him on the pretext that he
would secure a job offer for him. But having realised that he had no means of
returning the money to him, he hired two hefty guys, conspired with them,

vehicle has since been however recovered by the police.”
