Nasarawa Police Command Arrests Man For Killing Friend

The Nasarawa State Police Command on Friday arrested a 23-year-old man, Ezra Wadata for killing his friend, Moses Maidoki and stealing his motorcycle.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Ramhan Nansel, disclosed this in an interview in Lafia, the state capital on Friday.

Nansel stated that the suspect, who was living with his deceased friend, Moses in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, committed the offence owing to a disagreement that ensued between them.

According to the PPRO, the duo after some days, reconciled their differences, but Ezra still went ahead and killed his friend in a bid to teach him a lesson and steal his motorcycle.

“Both of them were friends, in fact they were living together. But a fight ensued between them, which they later settled.

“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."
