Two men inject man to death to steal his tricycle in Adamawa state
Two suspects identified as Habu Badiru and Auwal Lawan have been arrested by the Adamawa State police command for injecting and strangling a tricycle rider named Algoni Goni.
Reports reveal that the victim was injected with an overdose of Pentazocine so they can steal his tricycle.
While recounting how the deceased was killed, they said they said they boarded his tricycle and thereafter forcefully injected him with pento. After he died, they dumped his corpse by the riverbank in Uba in the Hong LGA of Adamawa State.
Badiru said;
“After killing Goni, I rode the tricycle to Mubi to sell it, but people refused to buy it due to lack of particulars. I then parked the tricycle at Mararaba Mubi.
“The following morning, I took the tricycle to Mubi for the second time to sell. I decided to call a buyer from Uba. But when he arrived, he asked me how I got the tricycle since he knew me to be a patent store operator.

“The man who came to buy the tricycle called the chairman of the tricycle riders association and informed him without me knowing it. The chairman and the prospective buyer were accompanied by a policeman, who told me I was under arrest.”
In confessing his own role in the tricycle rider`s death, Lawan said that he received a call from Badiru on the 4th of March requesting his assistance in killing the tricycle operator. He was killed so he could raise 100,000 to settle a debt.
According to Lawan, he only assisted his friend to administer the injection while Badiru strangled the victim.
DSP Suleiman Nguroje the spokesperson to the state police command said in a statement that at the end of the investigations, the suspects would be charged to court.
