The Niger State Police Command has arrested a bricklayer, Thankgod Emmanuel, for allegedly killing his colleague over N47,000.
The suspect was arrested by operatives of the Tudun Wada division after he was reported to have stabbed the deceased, identified as Tita Komla, with a dagger. He also stole his victim’s money and dumped his corpse in a drainage.
According to reports, the incident happened at Sauka Kahuta area of Minna, the state capital.
During interrogation, Emmanuel confessed, “I killed him so that nobody would know that I stole his N47,000.
“I used digger to inflict injuries on his head and he died instantly. I least suspected that police would identify me. Well, it’s really unfortunate.”
Niger state police public relations officer, Muhammed Abubakar, said the suspect will be charged to court soon.
