•Police: he’s a drug addict
A 28-year-old man, Adamu Mai Bisco, on Monday night allegedly killed his parents and two sisters in Potiskum, Yobe State. Police confirmed the incident.
Spokesman Toyin Gbadegesin said the suspect used a shovel to kill the victims while they were asleep.
“He was not provoked before carrying out the dastardly act.” The police attributed the suspect’s action to hard drugs.
Gbadegesin said: “Bisco acted under the influence of hard drugs.” A source, however, alleged that the suspect killed his parents and siblings because they (parents) threatened to report him to security agents for allegedly being a member of the Boko Haram.
