Sadiq Zubairu, a staff member of the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), has narrated how he killed Bello Bukar Adamu, his friend and colleague, over a debt of N3 million which he could not repay.
GoldmyneTV had reported how Adamu, a Kano resident, was declared missing after receiving what was supposed to be an urgent call from Sadiq.
Two days later, his co**se was found at a backstreet location in Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano.
Abdullahi Abubakar, Adamu’s younger brother, had told Daily Trust that his late bother was at home around 12pm on Sunday, May 5, 2024, when he received an urgent call from Sadiq.
He said they were aware that Adamu had a job deal with some people and he was confident of securing the offer.
In a chat with Daily Trust, the deceased’s brother said, “Bello was desperately looking for a Federal Inland Revenue Service job offer. He was so hopeful. He was working with Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) and wanted to join FIRS. And somebody was soliciting the offer for him.
“When he received a phone call in relation to the job offer, he asked his wife to bring his car key and went to the person waiting from him. Since then we never heard from him.
“Since he did not return that Sunday. We decided to track his calls. The last word of his conversation with the person on the other end was Alhamdulillah. From this we understood that he was lured into believing that the offer was ready made.”
