Man Arrested For Killing Friend And Stealing His Motorcycle
The Nasarawa State Police Command has detained a 23-year-old guy named Ezra Wadata for reportedly killing his friend Moses Maidoki and seizing his motorcycle.
Moses was killed by a knife in the Kubwa neighborhood of Abuja, and the suspect then fled to his village in the Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
On Friday, May 19, 2023, in an interview with Daily Trust in Lafia, the state capital, the command’s spokesperson, DSP Ramhan Nansel, confirmed the arrest.
Nansel claims that the suspect, who was residing in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja with his deceased buddy, Moses, committed the crime as a result of an argument that developed between them.
However, after two weeks of settling the matter, Ezra killed Moses and locked his corpse inside the house after stealing his motorcycle. After some days, the neighbours in the area were no longer comfortable with the smell coming out of their (Ezra and Moses) house, so they approached the police in Kubwa, Abuja, and that was how they knew that Moses had been killed.
“On noticing that the police were after him, the suspect quickly sold the motorcycle in Abuja and ran to his village called Ninga, in Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, where he was arrested by police officers in the state,” Nansel said.
The PPRO added that the suspect has confessed to the crime, and investigation into the matter has commenced as directed by the Commissioner of Police, Maiyaki Baba.
