How I Killed Ex-Perm Sec With Help Of His Employees – 18-Year-Old

An 18-year-old from Tayi Village, Bosso Local Government Area, Fatiyah Abdulhakeem, has confessed to the murder of a former Permanent Secretary in the Niger State Civil Service, Architect Adamu Jagaba.

Jagaba was attacked and stabbed to death on December 7, 2024, at his block industry along the Eastern Bypass in Minna.

The police confirmed Jagaba’s death after he was rushed to the hospital and disclosed that Abdulhakeem had fled the scene with the victim’s vehicle.

Abdulhakeem admitted to plotting and carrying out the crime with the help of Jagaba’s employees.

“My name is Fatiyah Abdulhakeem from Tayi Village, resident of Bosso local government area of Niger state,” Abdulhakeem said in a video clip obtained by SaharaReporters.

He went on to explain how Jagaba’s workers, Abata Love and Baba Soyaya, who worked at his block industry, provided crucial information about the victim’s routine.

“They said we should come by 10:30 am because their boss usually comes to work by that time,” he said.

Abdulhakeem revealed that his gang, consisting of Ibro, Abbas, Usama, and Abdulrahman, arrived at Jagaba’s premises and waited while he (Abdulhakeem) approached the victim under the pretense of helping with some work.

Abdulhakeem described how Jagaba had started feeling unwell before the fatal stabbing.

“I asked them to hide behind a container. I went to the man to help him carry his food flasks from his car, and after he was done supervising his workers, we sat and watched video clips from his phone.

“He was thinking of how to contact me to come and help him paint his car but I was there already. After complaining to me that he was not feeling too well, we had a discussion that lasted till around 1:30 pm.

“When he turned to sneeze, that was when I stabbed him in the neck with a knife and hit his head with a stapler as I took his car key and zoomed off with his car.”

Abdulhakeem said he initially planned to sell the stolen car, a Toyota Camry, for N4 million.

He expressed his regret, stating, “I had never killed in my life. My gang and I only stab people to collect their phones and other valuables.”
