A bricklayer, identified as ThankGod Emmanuel, has been arrested by the Niger State Police Command for killing his co-worker, Tita Komla, over N47,000.

Emmanuel was said to have murdered Komla with a digger at Sauka-Kahuta area of Minna.

It was further gathered that the suspect robbed his victim of his N47,000 and dumped his body inside the gutter.

Emmanuel admitted that he killed Komla in order to take his money.

“I killed him so that nobody would know that I stole his N47,000.

I used digger to inflict injuries on his head and he died instantly. I least suspected that police would identify me. Well, it’s really unfortunate,” he added.
