A senior officer identified as Lieutenant Commodore M Buba has been stabbed to death in Kaduna.

The attack occurred after the hoodlum attempted to rob the senior officer of his mobile phone and other valuables at the Kawo bridge.

According to eyewitnesses, the senior officer who was on course at the Armed Forces and Command Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji had a flat tire while on his way returning to Jaji.

“He alighted from his car trying to change the flat tyre, when the unknown assailant suddenly appeared and demanded him to handover his GSM phone. The senior officer refused questioning the rationale when the assailant suddenly stabbed him on the chest with a local knife.”


Suleiman Dahiru, a local vigilante, who witnessed the altercation attempted to help the senior officer but was also stabbed on the hand by the assailant too.

Our correspondent gathered that the assailant was subsequently overpowered and mobbed by nearby people who also killed him on the spot.

A senior military officer who did not want to he mentioned said, “The wounded senior officer was initially rushed to Manaal Hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival.

“The corpse of the deceased was subsequently evacuated to 44 Nigerian Army Referee Hospital, Kaduna mortuary for further action.

“Troops in plain clothes, police and other civil security agencies have been mobilised and tasked on covert operations to identify and clear all miscreants loitering around bus stops and other black spots in Kaduna Metropolis.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan confirmed the incident and described it as ‘unfortunate’.

He, however, assured that the police were doing everything possible to secure the area and the state at large.

When you commit a crime and you are chased by authorities in an attempt to arrest/stop you from being a further threat to other motorists, the fault from whatever happens is yours not the authorities chasing you. You don't seem to understand the dangers of driving against traffic until someone close to you is knocked down by one of them. How are you even sure the clown on one way isn't a terrorist, armed robber or drunk driving? Now the method of attempting to shot down the tires was very wrong as you can miss or risk the car turning over and hitting others so other law enforcement should be engaged to block the road further up front and arrest the culprit.

Perhaps you miss that the driver in a bid to get away rammed 2 or 3 place vehicles, if you were an officer there will you believe the driver to be harmless person trying to get home or someone with criminal intent.

There is a reason police authorities don't always prosecute officers and this is one.
