Police arrest man, accomplice for killing friend over landed property in Kano

The Police in Kano State have arrested three suspects in connection with gruesome murder of 32-year-old Dahiru Musa.

The Command’s spokesman, SP Abdullahi Haruna-Kiyawa, disclosed this while parading the suspects before newsmen.

Haruna-Kiyawa said the victim’s brother reported the deceased missing on September 29, suspecting his associate, Aliyu Adamu, who was later arrested on September 30.

“During interrogation, Aliyu Adamu confessed to conspiring with one Mubarak Abdulsalam to lure Dahiru to his house under the guise of land business negotiation.

“The suspects poisoned Dahiru and stabbed him to death, and later disposed of his body in an uncompleted building nearby.

“Their motive was to acquire Dahiru’s landed property, as Aliyu was in possession of the land documents,” he said.

According to the PPRO, an investigation led to the arrest of Mubarak, who revealed that upon learning of Aliyu’s arrest, he and Sadiq Sunusi conspired to burn Dahiru’s body with petrol to destroy evidence.
