A tragedy unfolded in Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State as 15-year-old Adamu Isa, the son of a retired police officer, was reportedly fatally stabbed by his friend, Abubakar Isa.

The incident occurred on March 27 following a heated argument between the friends.

This incident comes barely two days after a 16-year-old boy stabbed a 25-year-old man to death in another town in Bauchi State.

The suspect reportedly stabbed the deceased in the neck close to the throat with a knife, leading to his immediate death before reaching the hospital.

However, details are still sketchy regarding what triggered the fight.

The spokesman of the Bauchi State Police Command, SP Ahmed Wakili, confirmed the incident on Friday to DAILY POST. He stated that on the said day, the Ningi Police Division received a distress call from a retired DSP Kasuwa Isa, who resides behind the INEC office in Ningi.

According to Wakili, Isa reported that his son, Adamu Isa, 15, was stabbed with a knife on his neck by Abubakar Isah, also 15, who lives behind the NEPA office in Ningi.

“On receiving the complaint, the DPO of Ningi Division led a team of detectives to the scene of the incident and evacuated the victim to the General Hospital in Ningi, where he was certified dead by a medical doctor,” he stated.

Wakili added that the suspect, Abubakar Isa, has been arrested and is in police custody pending an investigation into the issue.
