By Laleye Dipo in Minna
A 34-year-old tenant Mauruf Sarki has confessed to killing his landlord, Tasiu Shittu, for a fee of N2 million in Kontagora town, Niger State.
Sarki claimed that a business associate of his deceased landlord hired him to terminate his life for the amount.
The suspect, who is now in police net, said after collecting the money he poisoned his landlord’s food which resulted in his death.
The remains of late Tasiu Shittu, the suspect disclosed, were buried in a shallow grave he dug in one of the rooms he rented from the deceased in Kontagora town in Niger State.
“I used local medicine to kill the man and buried him inside the house which I rented from him. I was hired to kill him by one of his business associates,” Sarki said, adding that “I regret my action.”
