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.
As Sunday Sun gathered from 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.
