The 35-year-old man, Sadiq Zubairu, who killed his friend and former colleague, Bello Bukar Adamu over a job scam in Kano State has been identified as the same person who berated late Hubert Wigwe's daughter, Tochi, for not standing up to greet Vice President, Kashim Shettima, during her father's funeral. 

Recall that Sadiq had shared a photo of Tochi sitting while accepting a handshake from Shettima and another of former VP Yemi Osinbajo and Aliko Dangote standing to shake hands with Shettima. Read HERE 

 “Same man, different regard. Whoever that girl is, she lacks proper home training. You don't shake a person old enough to be your father while sitting down,” he captioned the post. 

LIB reported that the police arrested Sadiq for the murder of Adamu, a staff of the Kano State Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO).

The spokesperson of the command, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, in a statement on Thursday, May 9, 2024, said the suspect had deceitfully collected the sum of N3m from the deceased on the pretext that he would secure a better job for him. 

According to the PPRO, Sadiq confessed that he had no means of returning the money to the deceased so he hired two men, conspired with them and killed Bello. 

Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, who confirmed the latest development on Friday, said a family member of the deceased disclosed it to him.

“A family member of the deceased just contacted us on the story where he reported another version of the story. He said: “Regards the story of the guy that killed his friend, his name is Sadiq Jibrin with an active handle on X @sadiqsolar and the deceased is Bello Bukar Adamu,” he wrote.
