Odutola said Mustapha had been handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.

Kano Electric official found dead after friend called

Meanwhile, an employee of the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), Bello Bukar Adamu, has been found dead many hours after he suddenly disappeared from home.

Adamu was reportedly contacted by his friend Zubairu Sadiq, who was said to be a former employee of KEDCO.

The suspect is said to have lured Adamu out of his house under the guise of a promising job opportunity. On Sunday, May 5, 2024, Adamu was last seen after the call from Sadiq regarding the alleged job offer.

The victim’s younger brother, Abdullahi Abubakar, told reporters that Adamu left home immediately after the call because he desperately wanted a job with the Federal Inland Revenue Service. However, despite his enthusiasm, he never returned home after meeting with the person who claimed to have the job offer.
