It was gathered that the suspects inflicted deep cuts on the deceased, which led to him bleeding to death.

The suspect told our correspondent that he killed Umar with a cutlass over what he described as an accumulated misunderstanding between them.

“I’m a Fulani man; I hardly forgive somebody that offends me. I will always remember and I’m ready to kill the person at any given time. I am such a person, if you wronged me in January and I see you in December, I will retaliate,” Maru stated.

The Command Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, confirmed the incident, saying the suspect had confessed to the crime.

Abubakar said the operatives recovered from him the murder weapon, adding that the matter would be charged to court after investigation.
