Adamawa State Police Command has apprehended a 32-year-old sex worker, Riyanatu Musa, for allegedly stabbing a barman, Yohanna Musa, to death in a dispute over a N200 debt in Yola.
The spokesperson for the Adamawa Police Command, Suleiman Nguroje, revealed in a statement on Friday that the suspect had stabbed the deceased in the chest.
The statement indicated that the incident occurred when Musa, who resided in Mubi South LGA, was killed over an outstanding N200 balance for alcohol she had purchased from him.
“She confessed committing the heinous crime by saying she had collected dry gin known as ‘big ben’ and Yahoo from the deceased, and promised to pay the following day after paying the sum of N1,500 remaining the balance of N200, before engaging themselves in a fight resulting in her stabbing him with a knife in the chest to death,” the statement added.
The state’s Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, has instructed a full investigation into the case and urged the public not to take the law into their own hands.
