The police in Kano are investigating a social media influencer for his alleged role in the murder of a colleague after a prolonged dispute over money.

Sadiq Jibrin Gadah, known well on social media for his acerbic vitriol against opposition political commentators online, reportedly killed Bello Bukar Adamu for pestering him over N3 million. The money was said to have been paid to Mr Gadah after he promised to help Mr Adamu secure a high-paying job at the Federal Inland Revenue Service.

Officials said Messrs Gadah and Adamu were colleagues at Kano Electricity Distribution Company. A spokesperson for the disco did not immediately return a request for comments about the incident.

Police spokesman Abdullahi Haruna Kyawa told Peoples Gazette that when Mr Gadah failed to deliver on his promise, Mr Adamu started mounting pressure. Unable to tolerate the pressure further, Mr Gadah arranged to have Mr Adamu killed, silencing him forever before he could raise the scam at work or elsewhere.

Mr Adamu was reportedly lured to a remote part of the commercial city, where he was bludgeoned to death with a pestle. Mr Gadah was arrested after a prolonged investigation into the matter, and a video said to have been recorded on May 5, 2024, showed him with a severe wound on one of his fingers, allegedly beaten by the deceased during the struggle.

The video also showed Mr Gadah holding the pestle said to have been used to commit the murder while standing in handcuffs by the victim’s vehicle recovered near the crime scene.

In the recorded video, Mr Gadah, speaking in Hausa, fessed up to his role in the homicide and acknowledged its consequences. He said he was ready to drink poison and die by suicide to save his family from the mess emanating from the chaos.

It was not immediately clear whether the suspect had contacted a lawyer. The police spokesperson said Mr Gadah would be arraigned upon conclusion of a preliminary inquiry into the matter.

Law enforcement officials have recently warned that raging economic hardships could trigger another wave of unlawful activity. Armed banditry and kidnap-for-ransom have put Kano and other cities across the northwest on the edge in recent months.

But Mr Kyawa said Mr Gadah’s matter was being treated as a crime of opportunity because had had a good job with the region’s main power distributor.

RIP to the dead ...

Like their leader like followers

Shedding of blood is their trade Mark

Wicked friend.

Very sad. Very horrible. What an evil friend. A wicked friend who has lost his freedom and control over his own life. For such a vicious way of killing his friend, Shariah law must be applied on him and his gang.

And the deceased, with such a beautiful car and 3m. Why spend such amount to get into FIRS? The answer simply would be corruption? The belief that it would be looting bazaar for him in FIRS. He lost all, unfortunately.

In all, beware of evil friends who stick around in the name of relationships. This fellow was never a friend. He was always jealous of his friend’s achievements and was looking long ago for ways to kill him.

Why do you think we call them (APC) Alliance Of Political Criminals That's their stock in trade. That's how they roll. Every thief and agbero gangs in Nigeria support APC. Even their leader (EyeNeck President Select) is a well known international criminal/drug baron.

APC is a party of Criminals by Criminals and for Criminals.

APC Influencer

BATeria infection got into his brain

This is a big fat lie. The guy in question is not a supporter or social media influencer of APC. He is an anti-APC element who campaigned against President Bola Tinubu. Bitter Obi and his lying cretins are simply trying to disingenuously trying to label him an APC member. He’s a member of NNPP.

Moderators should close down this thread for violating rule 8.

Every single person with a brain in Nigeria knows that People’s Gazette is the print media propaganda and lying arm of the Obidient movement. It’s just like asking if Peter Obi owns AriseTV despite everyone knowing the station is anti-Tinubu and pro- Obi.

I have attached screenshots of tweets from the guy showing he’s not an APC member or supporter. You bitter Obidient should be ashamed of yourself for still supporting indulging in the same lies and propaganda that couldn’t win Gbajue the presidency last year.

It is clear from the tweets in the original post from 2023 and yours dated April of this year that he initially supported Tinubu but it has dawned on him that alot of people like you too made the unwise decision hence the recent correction. Unlike him, you haven't admitted your flawed decisions.

There is nothing supportive of APC in his 2023 tweet. At best, he was not a Bitter Obi supporter. So tell me, how does that tweet qualify him as an APC influencer? Show us his tweets campaigning and influencing for APC at anytime?

There're no hardships in Nigeria.
Tinubu is working hard to fix the economy

3 million naira.

All for a cushy job at FIRS...which are highly competitive.

The thing is, the dead guy had 3million naira in his akant. That is money he could have at the very least invested. (Some banks offer mutual funds...something I plan to invest in self. I think Stanbic even welcomes you if you have 100000 to invest, talkless 3 million). Yet he tried to use it to pay for a job he had a high chance of not getting.

The real story here is the corruption in the government job thing. It has to stop, somehow. But too many people are benefiting from the thing, so it will continue.

Anyway, may the killer rot in jail.

Him nack him friend head with KONDO?

E don be for am.

Make e face him warrant.

Oga Senior Urchiin, I know you're one of the infamous defenders of BATeria on Nairaland so your outburst is understandable. I hope they're paying you well and you're buying fuel ⛽ at N200 per Litre.
Nevertheless, APC is a congregation of Criminals in Nigeria.
