The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Kennedy Idirisu, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect murdered his sister on Sunday, January 8, 2017, because she refused to give him money to buy cocaine.

“When she refused to give him money that evening, he was furious and invited his friends who are drug addicts to force her hand by stealing her iPhone.

Not satisfied, the friends, three in number, strangled her and hit her head with a hard object,” DSP Idirisu said.

The PPRO added that the lifeless body of the victim was discovered in her room at the family residence behind the Central Bank building at Bukan-Sidi, Lafia.

He said family members became curious and had to go knock on her door that fateful morning when she did not show up for the general morning prayer and when there was no response from within, they broke down the door only to discover that she had been murdered.
