I killed Bello my friend because he sent three million naira to me to help him purchase a job in Federal Inland Revenue where I work, I blame the devil for this. Sadiq Zubairu
Sadiq Zubairu, a tax officer at Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service, confessed to murdering his former colleague Bello by luring him with a fake job offer after receiving 3 million naira for a supposed purchase at his workplace.
The detailed confession describes a violent struggle where Bello bit off Zubairu’s finger, followed by beating him with a pestle, tying him up, and placing him in a car boot before abandoning the vehicle.
Posted as an anniversary of the incident with photos of Zubairu holding the pestle and showing his injury, the story prompts widespread reactions of shock, grief from the victim’s family, distrust in friends, and questions about whether justice has been served.
He said:
” I killed Bello my friend because he sent three million naira to me to help him purchase a job in Federal Inland Revenue where I work.
” We were former colleagues at Kaduna Electricity Company from 2017 to 2024 when I resigned.
” He asked how I got the job and I told him I bought it, he sent 3 million to me and on Sunday, I called him to meet me at Muhibba Filling station to take his job offer.
” I already stationed some boys outside and when he came in, we locked the door and we tried tieing up, in the process, my hands entered his mouth and he bit me with his teeth cutting my finger off.
” One of the boys brought out a pestle and hit his legs, he became weak and we tied his legs and hands. We also hit his head twice .
” The two boys brought his car, I opened the gate for them and we put him in the boot. I took his car to a garage close to Bristol Palace Hotel.
