The Yobe State Police Command has explained how Yunusa Isa, a 24-year- old man in the State murdered his business partner, Lawan Adamu over repayment of a N500,000 loan.

Yunusa had, on September 15, 2024 killed 28-year old Lawan in Damaturu in an attempt to avoid repaying the loan the deceased lent him.

According to the spokesperson of the command, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, Yunusa stabbed and slit the throat of the deceased.

Dungus said when Yunusa was arrested, he initially denied killing the deceased but later confessed to the crime after he was provided with evidence showing his involvement following intense interrogation by detectives.

“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 swift resolution of this case demonstrates our commitment to justice and public safety,” Dungus said
