A student of the Usmanu Dan Fodio University, in Sokoto, Habibu Abubakar, had his two hands cut off by suspected thugs on Sunday, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.
The victim’s father, Abubakar Attahiru confirmed the incident to Daily Nigerian, an online newspaper on Monday. He also said the perpetrator of the act are yet to be identified. “Habibu is a very gentle guy and jovial. He is my class rep but I don’t know the reason for the sad incident. He does not fight on campus. It must have been related to things even himself consider worthless. It is sad to see him without hands again,” a classmate of the victim said asking not to be named.
“We are still very surprised with the news. Cutting the two hands is wickedness. The news became viral Monday and it been posted viral on Facebook,” he said. “The development did not speak good of Nigeria’s security system. Perhaps, he was wrong to have also walked in the midnight.”Meanwhile, the University’s Dean of Students Affairs, Aminu Mode, a professor said the only link between the incident and UDUS is the student, “since the ‘brutalisation’ did not happen within the institution”.
What is happening?
Who did this to him, may he experience worse than this young guy.
Nigeria, one of the worst if not the worst place to be birthed.
