Man stabs friend to death over dispute in Minna

A 22-year-old man, Ibrahim Abba, has confessed to stabbing his friend, Usman Abubakar, to death in Minna, Niger State, following a dispute over clothes.

The incident occurred when Abba’s brother purchased clothes for him, but Abubakar took them and falsely told Abba’s brother that Abba had sold the items.

This led to a heated argument between the two friends, during which Abba, in a fit of rage, picked up a pair of scissors used for cutting cannabis and stabbed Abubakar in the chest.

In addition to Abba, those arrested include Abdullahi Yusuf and Mustapha Mohammed, all from the Sauka-Kahuta area of Minna.

The suspects are currently under investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Minna, and the police have vowed to ensure a thorough prosecution.
