Two suspected killers of Abdulkareem Ibn-Na-Allah, the eldest son of Sen. Bala Ibn-Na-Allah, said they sold the stolen car of their victim, N1million, in Katsina State.
The suspects, Bashir Muhammad, 23, and Nasiru Balarabe, 27, made the confession to journalists Thursday when paraded by the police at the headquarters of Kaduna Police Command.
Mr Balarabe said he used his share of the money in purchasing foreign parboiled rice, but that he was intercepted by personnel of Department of Customs and Excise at the border, and the rice confiscated.
I bought 23 bags of rice with my own share of the money but it was intercepted by customs,” he said.
The other suspect, Mr Muhammad, a resident of Rabah road in Kaduna metropolis, said he never knew the deceased prior to the incident.
“The next day it rained, so we decided to go to the house; when we got inside, I and Nasiru opened the door for Dankano, who was holding a torchlight.
“The light from the torch attracted the attention of the deceased and immediately he saw us; he picked something from under his bed and started struggling with Balarabe.
When Mr Muhammad was asked if poverty pushed him into committing the crime, he said his parents provided him with basic necessities as best as they could.
It would be recalled that Abdulkarim Na Allah, the eldest son of Bala Ibn Na Allah, was on Sunday, August 26, found dead in his room in Malali GRA, Kaduna metropolis.
The deceased was aged 36 and a pilot by profession.
