Shocking Betrayal: Friend Killed Over Meal Mishap – Find Out Why

According to reports, Mohammed brought his friend to his home in the Federal Capital Territory's Dantata Village, where he fed him before slashing at him with a cutlass.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson for the FCT police command, acknowledged the event.

Adeh told DoroTV that on February 13, 2025, around 1:30 p.m., police officers answered a distress call.

She further mentioned that Muhammad had numerous cutlass wounds on his head and torso and was asleep in a pool of blood when the cops arrived.

"The FCT Police Command responded to a distress call regarding a suspected homicide in Dantata Village at approximately 1:30 pm on February 13, 2025," Adeh stated.

Iliayasu Mohammed, 23, of Dakwa, Municipal Area Council, Abuja, was arrested after officers swiftly responded to the spot. He is charged with the vicious killing of Safillahi Muhammad, his friend.

According to preliminary investigations, the suspect enticed the victim to his house and fed him. Mohammed assaulted the victim with a cutlass while he was eating, wounding his head and torso several times. The victim was taken to a hospital after police discovered him unconscious in a pool of blood, where he was declared dead.

According to her, investigators found that Mohammed was a former prisoner who had connections to an infamous gang that preys on motorcycle riders for theft.

"Further investigations showed that Mohammed is an ex-convict," Adeh stated. He confessed to the murder during interrogation and revealed his membership in a criminal organization run by a man named Hassan, who is still at large. This gang has a reputation for stealing motorcycles from their victims.

"The police are currently looking for other gang members who have escaped. Mohammed will face charges in court following the completion of the investigation.”

“Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, urges residents to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to law enforcement. The Command is dedicated to maintaining the safety and security of all residents,” the statement added.
