Bauchi police arrest suspect over alleged killing of singer John Zuya

By: Zagazola Makama

Police operatives in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State have arrested a suspect in connection with the death of popular Sayawa artist, John Zuya, whose songs had earned him fans across the country, particularly among his tribesmen.

Zuya had recently traveled to Lagos, where he performed to a large crowd and reportedly earned a significant sum of money.

However, shortly after returning from the trip, he died under mysterious circumstances, sparking shock across his community.

A few days later, Yakubu Alhamdu, Deputy Chairman of Zayoda, Tafawa Balewa branch, claimed in a video shared on his Facebook platform that Zuya was allegedly killed by his friend, Emmanuel Wakili, also a Sayawa artist.

In the video, Alhamdu stated that Wakili confessed to killing Zuya out of jealousy, explaining that he captured Zuya’s soul (“Kurwa”) in a small bag and struck his head until he died. Alhamdu noted that this accounted for the blood seen on Zuya’s forehead after his death.

The incident has thrown the community into mourning, with many residents seeking justice.

Following the report, police traced and arrested Wakili, and investigations are ongoing to uncover the full circumstances surrounding Zuya’s death.
