The Katsina State Police Command has arrested a 29-year-old school teacher, Laminu Saminu for the brutal murder of his friend, Sanusi Bawa, an officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Saminu, who confessed to committing the crime said he served Bawa with the locally prepared cow milk known as, ‘Fura da Nono,’ after mixing it with rat poison because he wanted Bawa’s car.
Parading the suspect before newsmen at the Command Headquarters on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, police spokesperson Gambo Isah said the suspect lured the deceased into an unoccupied building in Mani Local Government Area of the state.
He deceived Bawa to park his car inside a garage in the house, and then served him with the poisoned Fura da Nono meal, as a result of which the deceased became unconscious.
The suspect got a heavy firewood, hit the victim severally on the head until he died, threw the corpse inside a well in the house, and covered it with sand, with the intent of robbing the deceased of his motor vehicle.
