Borno State Government has set up Investigative Panel to find out the causes of the alleged multiple stabbing of Jubril Sadi Mato, a Junior Secondary School 1 student of Elkanemi College of Islamic Theology in Maiduguri on throat by a senior colleague, identified as Ahmed Umar Goni after reportedly refusing to go for an errand.

Ahmed Umar Goni, SS2 student of the Elkanemi College had allegedly on January 16, 2022 used razor blade to stab his junior colleague, Jubril Sadi Mato multiple times on the neck within the environ of the throat after Jubril Sadi Mato refused to go for an errand for him.

It was gathered that Jubril Sadi Mato was found lying unconsciously in a pool of blood at the backyard of the school hostel and rushed to University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, UMTH where he was laid critical at the Intensive Care Unit battling for his life after his arteries nerves and trachea were severely damaged.

An Uncle to Jubril Sadi Mato, Nasiru Mato who spoke with Daily Trust said thus:

“From our own findings, one SS2 student known as Fairoz dragged our child behind their dormitory and used razor blade to cut his throat from different angles.

“Our son eventually fainted and the culprit ran away, thinking that the child was already dead. We received a distress call from the school management on Wednesday morning on the development and we rushed to the Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and found our child in a sorry state. At the moment, he is surviving on tracheostomy even as the doctors said it is difficult for him to regain his voice after having some of his veins cut”

Ahmed Umar Goni had been arrested and currently at the Homicide Section of the Borno State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department of the Nigeria Police Force.
