Musa said, “The engineer’s corpse was found in his apartment in the Dawaki area. The police came to remove his body on Saturday around 8 pm.

“The police also found a note on his table purportedly written by someone named Alfa. In the note, Alfa claimed to have killed Nnaji in retaliation for his sister’s death and accused him of involvement in fraudulent activities targeting young women, for Yahoo Plus. ” the source added.
