Mohammed Damina, a former Commissioner of Information in Bauchi State, have been arrested by the police in the state for allegedly killing his bestie while trying to woo his (bestie’s) daughter.
The 68-year-old traditional title holder of Galadiman Dass killed his bestie and neighbour, Adamu Babanta, 67, in fatal motor accident on Sunday evening, October 30, at Yelwan Lebra area of the state.
It was gathered that trouble started when Babanta caught Damina with his 18-year-old daughter, Khadija, on that fateful evening.
Narrating the incident to journalists, Khadija, a senior secondary school student, said that the ex-commissioner got her number from her friend and had been asking her out on several occasions but she declined.
“Yesterday (Sunday) evening, Galadima called me while I was in the shop and asked me to meet him around the Yelwan Tundu market. So, I informed my father, his friend about it and he asked me to go.
