The operatives of the Yobe State Police Command have arrested a man, Yunus Isa, for allegedly killing his business partner, Lawan Adamu, in the state.
The command’s spokesman, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, made this known in a statement on Thursday, September 19, 2024.
It was gathered that Adamu’s body was found on Sunday, September 15, with a deep throat cut and stab wounds in the Nayinawa area of Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.
Abdulkarim said credible intelligence led to the arrest of a prime suspect in the case, Isa, at Shago Tara near Nayinawa.
The police spokesperson said: “Investigation revealed that Lawan Adamu was his employer and business partner in the engine oil trade.

“He (the suspect) borrowed N500,000 from Adamu last year with a profit-sharing agreement.
“However, when he failed to meet the agreement terms, the deceased demanded repayment.
“Isa callously murdered Adamu to avoid repaying the debt, killing him in cold blood.”
He added that the swift resolution of the case demonstrated the command’s commitment towards ensuring justice and public safety.
Abdulkarim further stated that the suspect would be charged to court upon the conclusion of the ongoing investigation.
