Armed robbers on Sunday night killed a former Works Director at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Hassan Jama’are.
It was gathered that the deceased was attacked by the robbers in front of his house around 10 pm at the Tudun Salmanu area of Bauchi metropolis as he was driving into his house and the robbers made away with the deceased’s Honda Accord vehicle after the attack.
This is coming barely 24 hours after gunmen killed two persons in the Gudum Hausawa area of the state.
It was also reported that despite a cry for help by the deceased while he was being attacked, residents of the area could not come out to rescue him, adding that it was after the robbers had gone that neighbours came out and together with his family members rushed him to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi.
According to Wakil, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, the gang stabbed the deceased with knife while he was trying to enter his house.
He stated that the incident was reported to the police at “C” Division, adding that the police promptly responded and conducted a search in the area but could not see any of the robbers.
The police spokesman, however, said that the State Commissioner of Police, Tanko Lawal Jimeta, has directed that discreet investigation be conducted into the incident with a view to arresting the fleeing armed robbers for them to face justice.
