He said: “Investigation revealed that Lawan Adamu was his employer and business partner in the engine oil trade.
“He (the suspect) borrowed N500,000 from Adamu last year with a profit-sharing agreement.
“However, when he failed to meet the agreement terms, the deceased demanded repayment.
“Isa callously murdered Adamu to avoid repaying the debt, killing him in cold blood.”
The Police Public Relations Officer revealed that the swift resolution of the case demonstrated the command’s commitment towards ensuring justice and public safety.
Abdulkarim said the suspect would soon be charged to court.
