According to the prosecution team, the convict gave the deceased a loan of N30,000 but Mohammed could not pay back the money at the agreed time.Information Guide Nigeria

The court heard that while both of them were in the room on that fateful day, the convict demanded that the deceased should refund him his money, but the late Jega reportedly told him that he was going to pay back the following week.

This resulted in a heated argument shortly after they had taken codeine and smoked Indian hemp in the room.

The prosecution team told the court that the convict hurriedly picked up a packet of cigarettes, locked the door, and fled to Mubi where he committed another murder and is currently standing another trial for alleged culpable homicide before Hon. Justice Danladi Muhammed led High Court.

Delivery judgment in the case, the presiding judge, Justice Bulila Ladokiya Ikharo, said she cannot find any other intention other than the fact that the defendant intended and indeed killed the deceased.

The judge ruled, “It is very clear that the defendant had intention of killing the deceased. He used a cutlass and stabbed the deceased twice on the head, a very vital part of the body. As if that was not enough, he locked him up in the room in his pool and left. On the whole, I hereby find and hold that the prosecution had proved its case against the defendant beyond reasonable doubt and I so convict the defendant as charged.
