A 29-year-old man, Monday Ajasco, has stabbed his 30-year-old friend, Abdulrazak Ibrahim to death for allegedly failing to buy him beer in Bagel village, Dass Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
The police have arrested the suspect. This is as disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Ahmed Wakil.
Wakil explained that an investigation conducted by the detectives attached to the state police command revealed that the suspect on November 16 went to a beer parlor at Bagel village, where he met Ibrahim and others.
“He (the suspect) asked the said Ibrahim to buy him a beer to drink, but the deceased refused to do so. This development sparked a little altercation between them which displeases the suspect. After a while, they decided to leave the beer parlor and go to their homes while the victim left before them.
“One of the deceased’s friends heard screaming from afar. On reaching the scene, he met him lying in a pool of blood while the suspect stood near the victim, holding a sharp animal horn. The suspect also threatened to stab the victim’s friend who asked him why he did so.”
“He (the victim) sustained a serious injury and was swiftly rushed to the General Hospital Dass where he was certified dead by a medical doctor.”
Wakil disclosed further that the case will be charged to court when investigation had been concluded.
