According to Abdullahi, the police received a report around 11:00 p.m. on Sunday from a relative of the victim, Bashir Umar. The report indicated that the attack occurred earlier that day at about 8:00 a.m.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim sustained fatal stab wounds to the left side of his chest and back,” Abdullahi stated. “He was rushed to the Specialist Hospital in Gombe, where he was later confirmed dead by a medical doctor.”
