It appears that a couple of Pharisees named Joseph and Nicodemus buried Jesus in Joseph's newly excavated sepulchre that was conveniently near the site of Jesus' murder: "...Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night... then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices... now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre... there laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jew's preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand." (John 19:38-42)

The binding of Jesus' body was described in the Book of John, chapter 19, verses 38-40 (Holman Christian Standard Version): After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away. Nicodemus (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes. Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen cloths with the aromatic spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.

Believing in Christ, and committing oneself to Christ [obeying Him] are two different things. According to the biblical evidence given... Nicodemus qualified as a "believer" -- but beyond the gospels... His name isn't mentioned in the New Testament. Neither Nicodemus, nor Joseph of Arimathaea... who was also a "believer.""...after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus... And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night..." (John 19:38-39).The Pharisee, Nicodemus, confessed to Jesus, that many others of the Pharisees "believed" in Jesus. But because they possessed a greater fear of the world and what it might think of them, than God, came to Him, secretly, by night:"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, WE KNOW THAT THOU ARE A TEACHER COME FROM GOD: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." (John 3:1-2)John records other Jews who also "believed" on Jesus, who tried to kill Him [John 8: 30--].While Nicodemus isn't named among this group... neither is his, nor Joseph of Arimathaea's names mentioned beyond the four gospels regarding any further exploits after Jesus' ascension into heaven.So, the Bible lists Nicodemus and others as "believers" in Christ, only... nothing is mentioned of them beyond that.Short AnswerNicodemus became a believer in the Messiah of the Bible.
