A 24-year- old man has killed his business partner over repayment of a N500,000 loan in Yobe State.
According to the State Police Command, the suspect, identified as Yunusa Isa, killed his friend and benefactor, 28-year-old Lawan Adamu, in Damaturu to avoid repaying a loan he took from the deceased.
DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, the spokesperson of the Command, disclosed that Yunusa stabbed the deceased and slit his throat.
The suspect initially denied killing Adamu but eventually owned up to the crime after he was shown the overwhelming evidence linking him to the heinous crime, following intense interrogation by police detectives.
Dungus said: “Recall that on September 16, 2024, the ‘A’ Divisional Police Headquarters apprehended Yunus Isa, 24, of Shago Tara, Nayi Nawa Ward, for allegedly killing Lawan Adamu.
“Initially, the suspect denied involvement despite overwhelming circumstantial evidence. However, following intense interrogation by State CID detectives, Yunus Isa confessed to the crime.
“Investigation revealed that Lawan Adamu was his employer and business partner in the engine oil trade. He borrowed N500,000 from Adamu last year with a profit-sharing agreement. However, when he failed to meet the agreement terms, Adamu demanded repayment.
“Isa callously murdered Lawan Adamu to avoid repaying the debt, killing him in cold blood.”
The police spokesperson added:
“The swift resolution of this case demonstrates our commitment to justice and public safety.”
