Man kills friend for recommending drug that made him impotent

In what could best be described as a horrible
case of someone jumping from frying pan into
fire, 20-year-old Kumi Mallam Jayi, is now
awaiting arraignment in court for the alleged
gruesome murder of Hassan Adamu, 27, his
friend.

Jayi allegedly hacked Adamu to death on
September 10, 2016 by beheading him with his
cutlass. He also cut off one of Adamu’s legs, in
an apparent attempt to dismember him and make
his body untraceable.

The incident happened at Jato Mariga under
Azara Development Area, Nasarawa State.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Abubakar Sadiq
Bello, who gave the gory details of the alleged
murder said the path that led up to the
horrendous incident began when Jayi sought the
advice of Adamu over his inability to have
intercourse with his wife.

He was deeply
disturbed that three years
after marrying, he had no child to show for it, due
largely to his inability to sustain an erection.

Adamu after considering Jayi’s request was said
to have offered to help him to overcome the
predicament.
At the headquarters of the police command,
where he spoke with Sunday Sun reporter, Jayi
recounted the background to the horrific incident.

“I got married to my wife Halima three
years ago. We do not have any child. I
have tried in many places to get a solution
to the problem without success. Then I
told my friend, Hassan Adamu my
predicament and he promised to assist
me. He brought a native concoction, which
he said I should always rub on my
manhood before having intercourse with
my wife.”

Believing that he had finally gotten a solution to
the problem that had caused him untold
psychological pain, Jayi faithfully applied the
‘drug’ as prescribed by his friend.

But then the
unintended happened.
Prior to using the local concoction, he could at
least have a short-lived erection. But after taking
the concoction, even the little erection he could
muster disappeared completely, leaving him
impotent.

“I met Adamu and begged him to return
my manhood because I had become
impotent. I could not make love with my
wife again. Adamu told me that there was
nothing he could do again to help me. Do
you know that my wife had divorced me
three times in the past?”

With the prospect of losing his wife of three years
staring him in the face, red-hot fury got hold of
Jayi, and he confronted Adamu, whom he blamed
for the fate that had befallen him.
Bello further told Sunday Sun that an altercation
ensued between the two friends. Jayi drew his
sharp cutlass and dealt a deadly cut on Adamu
that severed his head. He fell down and died
instantly. Jayi took to his heels.

Meanwhile, the father of the deceased, Alhaji
Manu Adamu, had become worried about the
sudden disappearance of his son who did not
come home since three days. It was on the third
day that the family learnt about what happened at
Azara Council Development Area.

“When we got there, I saw my son’s head
and left leg cut off. I couldn’t believe it. I
ran to Azara Police Division and reported
the incident. Detectives from homicide
section of the State Criminal Investigation
and Intelligence Department (CIID)
launched a manhunt for Jayi and arrested
him on September 15, 2016, five days
after the incident.

The Deputy
Commissioner of Police in charge of Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department (CIID),
DCP Hamza Ameyi, Jayi in the course of
interrogation at police headquarters confessed to
the crime and took detectives to Jato Mariga
Azara Development Area where the corpse of the
deceased Adamu Hassan was retrieved.
“We were able to recover the cutlass he
used to commit the murder,” Ameyi said
It was only after Jayi was arrested by the police
and interrogated that the deceased’s father learnt
about what really transpired between his son and
Jayi.

The distraught father said that the family decided
to bury the deceased in the same place where
Jayi allegedly murdered him.
As it stands, the police commissioner said the
process of charging Jayi to court for murder
would soon be completed.
