Yobe man murders business partner over N500,000 debt
A 24-year-old man from Yobe State has been arrested for allegedly murdering a business associate over a debt of N500,000.
Police say Yunus Isa killed Lawan Adamu, also 28, in Damaturu, the state capital, after failing to repay the money. The two men were traders dealing in engine oil and other lubricants.
Isa had reportedly borrowed the sum under false pretences, claiming it was to open a new outlet with a profit-sharing agreement. However, he is said to have used the money to fund his marriage instead.
