A 20-year-old man, Yusuf Muhammad, has been stabbed into a coma allegedly by his neighbour, one Hassan Wanzami, in the Dan Rimi area of Fagge LGA of Kano State.

City & Crime gathered that Wanzami, a local barber, met Muhammad and his friends playing football in the neighbourhood and tried to stop them, alleging that they were spoiling the frontage of his house and that the young men moved to the next street and continued playing.

A friend of the victim said, But not satisfied with their relocation, Wanzami chased them with a knife and stabbed Muhammad on the neck.

Muhammads mother, Rabi, said, I was at home around 11am when they brought him (victim) with blood all over his body. I asked him who did that to him and he said its Mallam Hassan. I asked him what he did to him and he said nothing. Thats when I took him to the hospital.

She further said, Some elders in the area had to intervene because his friends and other concerned people had already started coming out with sticks and knives to attack Mallam Hassan. The police were called and they took him away.

When contacted, the spokesperson of the police command in Kano, Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, said they were investigating the issue. (Daily Trust)
