Sgt. Muhammad Abdulkadir, a brother to the deceased, said that the gang members, numbering about seven, invaded the deceased’s house at 2. 00 a.m. with knives and other dangerous weapons.
According to him, the deceased did his best to escape but was not successful.
He said that the hoodlums stabbed him in the stomach, exposing his intestines.
He also said that the gang took the deceased’s two phones and ran away, adding that he died at the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, Yola, where he was rushed.
