BIZARRE: Man kills friend to take over his lorry

The Kwara State Police have arrested a man who killed his friend and co-worker so that he can have possession of a tipper lorry.

The suspect, Jamiu Suleiman, confessed that he shot and killed the deceased, Baba Oyin, because he wanted to have his Tipper lorry which he was using in his sand business.

According to the police, Suleiman committed the crime in Ikorodu, Lagos State in October 2019 and fled to Ilorin.

In the confession, Suleiman said,

“Myself and Baba Oyin are friends, we are engaged in Quarry business in Ikorodu. Baba Oyin has a tipper which he used to carry sand for customers and he used to get a lot of money. So, I decided to kill him and have his tipper lorry so that I will be getting money like him.

” One day I tricked him that I have a business in a place that is far away from our business place in Ikorodu. It was in the bush where I knew that people would not see us and he didn’t know that I have a gun. When we went far into the forest in Ikorodu, I shot him with my gun and took his tipper lorry. I came with the tipper lorry to Ilorin to use it for the sand business before I was arrested by the Police in Ilorin.”

Jamiu said that he bought the gun which he used for the killing of Baba Oyin from a man in Ikorodu at N70,000.
