A former Permanent Secretary in the Niger State Civil Service, Architect Adamu Jagaba has been stabbed to death by 18-year-old Fatiyah Abdulhakeem, his car painter, at his block industry along Eastern Bypass, Minna.
The incident occurred on Saturday 7th December 2024.
According to the police in a statement, Abdulhakeem trespassed into Jagaba’s business premises, attacked him with multiple stabs to the head and neck, and fled the scene with the victim’s Toyota Camry vehicle (Reg. No. MNA 61 AE).
Jagaba was rushed to a nearby hospital but was confirmed dead.
The police were notified of the incident at around 3 pm, and officers quickly began investigating the homicide, the statement added.
Later that evening, at approximately 7 pm, the police’s Crack Squad intercepted the stolen vehicle along Bosso Estate Road, Minna.
Abdulhakeem was apprehended, and during interrogation, he confessed to the crime.
“I visited him to discuss changing the vehicle bumper. Afterward, I deliberately stabbed him several times with a knife on the head and neck, and hit him multiple times with a stapler in his office,” Abdulhakeem admitted.
The suspect also revealed that he had conspired with some of Jagaba’s workers, who provided him with information to help carry out the attack.
He further confessed that he worked with other gang members, naming them for investigation.
The police have assured the public that efforts are underway to apprehend the remaining suspects. “We are determined to bring all those involved in this heinous crime to justice,” said the Niger State Police Command.
Abdulhakeem will be charged to court once the investigation is completed.
The statement added, “On 7th December, 2024 at about 3pm, a report of an incident of culpable homicide was made at Tudun-Wada Div, that at about 11.30am, a yet-to-be-identified person(s) trespassed to a block industry located along Eastern Bye-pass, Minna attacked and stabbed one Adamu Jagaba on the head and made away with his vehicle.
“The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where he gave up the ghost and was confirmed dead. The police operatives of the Div visited the scene and commenced investigation into the unfortunate incident.”
Iran’s foreign ministry on Monday said it was not currently involved in negotiations with the United States, despite a halt in recent fighting between the two sides.
“Mediators may convey messages from the American side to us regarding current developments in the region. But at present, we are not engaged in any negotiations with the United States,” ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said at a weekly press briefing.
“Claims that Iran has requested negotiations are fabrications that the other side circulates from time to time,” he added.
Hostilities resumed between Iran and the United States earlier this month after diplomatic efforts collapsed amid an impasse regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
Fighting has nonetheless paused since early Saturday, following 13 days of exchanges of fire between the two sides.
Baqaei criticised the United States, saying its conduct in recent years has “resembled that of a mafia gang that adheres to no rules or laws”.
“So long as such behaviour by the United States continues, we cannot be hopeful about the emergence of a reasonable process,” he added.
Iran insists on retaining control over the management of the Strait of Hormuz, including the collection of service fees, while keeping Oman involved as a coastal state.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have turned back multiple vessels in recent days, including six earlier on Monday, that attempted to transit the strait outside the route designated by the Islamic republic.
On Monday, Baqaei reiterated that Washington had nothing to do with recent talks with Oman over the administration of the Strait of Hormuz.
“These talks have no connection with the United States. They are a bilateral matter between Iran and Oman, and they are continuing,” Baqaei said, adding that the waterway “remains closed”.

Confusion in Anambra as students feared trapped in private hostel near Oko Polytechnic collapses
A three-storey private hostel warehousing students of Federal Polytechnic Oko has collapsed in Amokpala, Oko, in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, leaving a yet-to-be-identified number of occupants trapped beneath the rubble.
The building, identified as Elite Five Star Lodge, reportedly caved in late Sunday night.
The collapse of the hostel located near Tonimas Filling Station in the Oko Polytechnic community sparked panic among residents and students as cries for help were reportedly heard from beneath the debris.
Emergency responders launched rescue operations, with personnel from the Anambra State Police Command, the Anambra State Fire Service, the Anambra State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), and other security and emergency agencies deployed to the scene.
Several injured victims have so far been rescued from the collapsed structure and taken to a hospital in Oko for medical treatment.
Search-and-rescue teams, however, continue efforts to reach other occupants believed to be trapped under the debris.
Authorities said the exact number of casualties and those trapped could not be immediately confirmed, as rescue operations were still ongoing at the time of filing this report.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said a police-led joint security team swiftly secured the area and coordinated emergency response efforts to prevent further loss of life.
Ikenga urged residents to remain calm, refrain from spreading unverified information, and stay away from the scene to allow rescue workers unhindered access to carry out their operations.
He added that the police command would provide further updates as more verified information becomes available.
