A 20- year-old young man Ibrahim Abdullahi has disclosed the reason he killed his elder brother Kadade Abdullahi, pointing his parents trust and preferential treatment for him as his reason.
Ibrahim had, on the 21st of March hired some assassins to murder Kadade at their home in Kaduna around 11.30pm.
As reported, Ibrahim has been arrested by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team attached to Operation Puff Adder at Kateri Annex in Kaduna State. The team was said to have arrested the suspect and one Hassan Amadu, 22, with the support of local vigilantes at Amana maiKasuwa village in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, indigene of which Ibrahim and his late brother are.
Ibrahim then confessed to the Police that he was jealous of his brother as his parents trusted him more than him and he had him killed. He further told newsmen that he belonged to a gang which specialised in armed robbery, kidnapping and cattle rustling.
He added that his father recently sold cows worth N1.7m and kept the money with Kadade. This so much angered him that he sought the help of Amadu in killing him.
“My brother sold some cows for my father and made N1.7m. He came back and started making a noise about it. My father was happy about it and asked him (Kadade) to keep the money. I expected him to share the money between us but he asked my brother to take it to the bank the next day. I was so broke that day and asked my father for money. He started insulting me and asked me to learn to be responsible like Kadade. I was bitter and immediately called Haruna (Amadu) and told him about the money in our house. I told them (Amadu and the hired assassins) to come that night and kill my brother. I thought that his death would make my father allow me to control some of his businesses. That night, around 12 midnight, about five of them came. They knocked on my window as a sign to let me know that they were around. They searched everywhere for my brother and when they found him, they killed him as I instructed. My father was devastated but I consoled him that it was Allah’s wish.” Read also: Evans The Kidnapper Bribed Us With $2 Million – Police Detective “I collected N100,000 as my share of the money since I was the one who brought the job. It was later that we learnt that my brother kept part of the money in a safe in the market. The police came to our residence and arrested our neighbours because they all knew about the money Kadade made from selling father’s cows. They were later released and my brother was buried and I thought the matter was over. I was surprised when the police came back with Hassan (Amadu) and arrested me. I am terribly sorry and hope that my family will forgive me. I now regret my action“, he reportedly said.
